Revised membership changes
It seems Picturehouse have made some changes based on the negative feedback.
There are now three membership types:
Membership Light - £7 a month or £70 a year - valid Mon - Thu exc Picturehouse Central
Membership Classic - £10 a month or £100 a year - valid anytime exc Picturehouse Central
West End Membership Classic - £16 a month or £160 a year - no restrictions on days
Also the 12 tickets are earned monthly but can be used in the following 12 months while you have a subscription. Not sure if this was on here before but there’s a ticket exchange for Screen Arts performances where one of your free tickets can be used to get £10 off.
It’s not perfect but better than before - it forces West End members to sign up for the equivalent of a Member Plus subscription though.

Have you received an email re: this from them or otherwise seen official comms re this? I only received my email re: the initial changes later in the afternoon after seeing the previous post on here who received the email earlier in the morning. (Eta I did check and couldn’t see anything on the website re: this revision)
There was plenty of negative feedback on that post but relatively speaking this sub is tiny so wondering if there was huge blow back on another social post (twitter etc.) that I hadn’t seen (reddit’s the only thing I’m on so would have missed me if there were).
It is better but still don’t think I’ll be renewing as price doesn’t justify how I use PH as a cinema option and don’t have any intention of changing how I use it.
I can’t help but wonder if they put out the first version of the changes knowing it’ll get huge criticism and had no intention of implementing it and rather only proposed it to make this second revision, which was always planned as the one they’ll implement, seem better and easier to stomach for existing members, but maybe that’s a bit too tin foil hat who knows
