The Cineville Pass allows unlimited entrance to regular and part of the special showings at about 25 movie theaters in the Netherlands, in Castricum, Amsterdam, Haarlem, Leiden, The Hague, Rotterdam, Dordrecht, Utrecht and Maastricht, for €18.50 per month.[2] The Groninger Filmkaart, for €20 per month, allows unlimited entrance at the two movie theaters MustSee Euroborg (10 screens) and Images (3 screens, Wolff Cinema Groep), both in Groningen. There is also a version for €35 per month, also giving unlimited entrance to any person accompanying the card holder (not more than one per screening). Some Pathé theaters offer live broadcasting of operas and some concerts. Admission prices are two or three times the regular ones.
