FYI, many banks / bank accounts offer some benefits one of which is half priced cinema tickets, I get it through Lloyds.

There's a FB page: European Football Weekends which is quite interesting to see how many UK fans fly out to the continent to watch games rather than homegrown talent...

When we take the kids I use my Cineworld Unlimited which gives me a 25% discount on the crap they want, when it's just MrsMac and I we go to Everyman big comfy double sofas, drinks brought to your seat etc but as a babysitter usually costs us a minimum of £40, throw in £20 for Uber we know it's going to be an expensive evening so make the most of it.
Did for Descendents 3 recently for my 6 year old. Even she said it was too blurry.

VUE are ****ers apparently though. If there are no other cinemas in the area its a tenner.

German clubs are fan-controlled (no private individual or commercial organisation/sponsor can control more than 49% of the club).
That's why ticket prices are low by comparison to the UK. Dortmund have the highest average home attendance in the world (c.80k per match) even though everyone knows Bayern Munich will win the league. Most German top-flight clubs offer a standing season ticket for around EUR200. Which is roughly the same as a pair of top-priced seats for a home game at Arsenal.
