@berrythefacts: The entire cinema industry is in breach of Australian Consumer Law. All they have to do is update their online pricing and associated disclaimer to include the per-ticket online booking fee and note that the fee can be avoided in person. There is no reason not to do this, other than to give the psychological perception that tickets being advertised are cheaper than they really are - which is exactly what drip pricing legislation aims to avoid. #accc #australia #consumerlaw #odyssey #cinema
its wild the ACCC doesn't know its own legislation

I can see why this isn’t an enforcement priority for the ACCC. Just do the maths in your head?

I love your work so much. I never skip a second of these videos because this is how deep I expect people to think about what they’re agreeing to pay. I’m sick of businesses getting away with ripping off customers.

When you purchase in person it’s usually more expensive! Reading cinemas only does cheap Tuesdays online and you can’t avoid the fee 😭

Where I work gets access to buying “discounted” vouchers to event cinemas and imax, the worst part part is paying for the voucher and going online to book the seats and paying $0 in ticket prices with the voucher but $5 in transaction fees to redeem what I’d already paid for…

We pay them through our taxes to do their job to enforce the law yet, here we are.

When you see the salary range for government lawyers (including ACCC enforcement lawyers) compared to the salaries for the same seniority in-house or at a firm, it will become very clear why the ACCC doesn’t seem to understand the legislation it’s supposed to enforce.

so what you're saying in business don't need to comply with the laws because nothing will be done about it anyway

It’s important to remember the ACCC do extensive investigations, so, it’s not an overnight thing and they’re only resourced to investigate so many things at once. The most recent budget added additional funding, so hopefully they’ll be better resourced going forward.
