Employee Discounts: Phoenix Theaters
Duke employees use PERQs to save money at Northgate cinema
Ava Johnson lives within walking distance of the new 10 screen movie theatre at Northgate Mall in Durham.
When Duke announced that the theatre joined the PERQs discount program, Johnson and a co-worker rushed to buy movie tickets.
"I was very excited about the theatre opening in the neighborhood," said Johnson, public information coordinator for the Center for Documentary Studies at Duke. "I'm a big movie fan and like to go to the theater to have popcorn and the whole experience."
She bought four tickets, saving up to $2.75 on each ticket. On a recent Friday evening, she walked to the theatre to see "The Black Dahlia" with her partner, Ryan Pinion. They sat in high back, rocking seats of vinyl that felt like leather.
"It's really kind of a posh situation, and it rivals Southpoint," Johnson said. "It's so wonderful to have something in the neighborhood that can pull a bunch of people together."
Two types of discount Phoenix movie tickets are available for purchase through Staff & Family Programs. They are nonrefundable but valid at any Phoenix theatre in the country.
Regular Supersaver Tickets are $5.50 each. They cannot be used during the first 10 days of a film's release. They are good for day and evening shows.
Premium Supersaver Tickets are $7 each. They are valid for any show, at any time.
