Cineplex earns $40M from $1.50 online booking fees since 2022, criticized as "deceptive" by Canada's competition commissioner.
Canada's largest cinema chain, Cineplex, has made nearly $40 million from online booking fees since their introduction in 2022, according to an agreed statement of facts in a case before the Competition Tribunal. The fees, which amount to $1.50 per online ticket, have been criticized by the country's competition commissioner for being "deceptive", as they are not presented to customers on the first page of the ticket purchasing process. Cineplex has argued that these claims are without merit and should be dismissed.
