1. TGV Cinemas
From Monday to Friday, students only have to pay for their tickets at a permanent rate of RM10. Of course, this is only valid for standard seats and before 6pm, and you can only get this discount when you purchase tickets over the counter and not online. But hey, at least it’s something!
2. Golden Screen Cinemas
Depending on the location, you are privileged to a few knocks off the usual price of tickets, getting to purchase entry from RM7 to RM11. However, as it is with TGV Cinemas, you can only get your discount if you buy tickets for before 6pm.
3. MBO Cinemas
On weekdays, as long as you buy your tickets for movies before 6pm, you can get them at just RM9. MBO requires you to make your purchase over the counter so they can have a look at your student ID. This deal is not valid during the public holidays.
