Empire Theatres: Contest
Filed Under Contests | December 8, 2010
This contest is closed. Congratulations to our winner Kat Davidson.
There are so many great movies out there in the theatres, but who has time to go see them? Well yoyomama and Empire Theatres want you and someone you love to go to the movies! In this film inspired contest, you have the chance to win two packs of $60.00 worth of Empire Theatre coupons and gift cards…so you can keep one and give one away (prize value $120.00)
You could win the chance to Give & Get this Holiday with Empire Theatres!
Holiday shopping isn’t always as straightforward as we’d like it to be. Trying to find the perfect gift (that doesn’t break the bank) can be like Christopher Columbus’s conquest for a new land. Wouldn’t it be lovely if someone just stepped in and handed you something that everyone on your list wants? And even more, went so far as to
give you something in return?
Enter the Empire Theatres ‘Give & Get’ program. Each time you purchase $30 in Empire gift cards, you’ll get $30 in Empire coupons for free! How sweet is that? Whether it’s for your child’s homeroom teacher who loves Patrick Dempsey or your brother who can’t get enough of sci-fi action flicks this is the perfect gift. For them, and for you.
Enter now and you could win two holiday bundles valued at $60* each! That’s one for you, and one to give as the perfect gift for the movie lover in your life.
*Approximate retail value $60 – refers to the $30 value in Empire Coupons, plus $30 Empire gift certificate. Offer expires on December 24th, 2010. Check empiretheatres.com for full program details.
So how can you get your name in the draw for this great prize? Let us know who you would give your second pack of Empire Theatre gift cards and coupons to and why.
It’s easy to comment on any of our contests, but you do it on yoyomama.ca not in our daily emails. All you need to do is add your comment at the bottom of the contest after the share and enjoy buttons. Please note: To be eligible for this contest you must use valid email address as that is how we’ll contact the winner.

Let us know what you think or share your great finds with us so we can share them with other Vancouver mothers!
One of my best friends, Jana. She loves watching movies and I love hearing her reviews! It’s even better watching movies together!!
I would give the second pack of gift cards/coupons to my sister. I don’t get out to the movies often but when I do I go with her and we always have a wonderful time!
I would give one of the gift packs to my sixteen year old daughter so she can go to the movies with het friends. That way she can use her hard earned money for other treats
I would give the gift cards to my nieces and nephews who are studying and working hard in their final year of school grade 12 and making the grades to go to university and working to pay for their education.
Our dear friends Juan and Clara; for the last ten years they have worked extremely hard to make a life for themselves here in Canada, and they rarely get time to go out and have a ‘night off’. They truly deserve a chance to get out together and have a ‘date night’.
i would give them to my son, he has bought a house and has new baby on the way,so no money for fun…so yes i think he would enjoy
The second pack would go to my husband. He has been working really hard at trying to start a business while also being a thoroughly fun and amazing dad to our two small boys. He LOVES watching movies and munching on popcorn, but we hardly ever have the time or the resources to do so now, especially with babysitting factored in. With the gift cards, maybe he’d be able to invite me on a much needed date night!
My 2nd gift pack would go to my sister-in-law. With taking care of 3 kids, she deserves a little time away.
I would give them to my homestay student from Germany. She is studying english and says one of the best ways to learn is watching tv and going to movies. She learns jokes and sarcasim, which she says she doens’t learn in school, it more “real” english she says.
I would give this to my husband!
My mailman. I never know what to give and end up with a Starbucks giftcard or something so this would be much cooler!
My cousins who I could take on a girls night movie date with me!
I would share them with Lisa. She loves the movies and I know she would be super excited to get them. She wants to take her kids to Yogi and this would help a lot!!
I would give these to my sister-in-law who does such a great job of babysitting our 2 girls when my husband and I (rarely) go out on a date!
Id give them to Summer to put a smile on her face.
I would give the second to my friend Joanne, she loves going to movies but can’t always afford it
I’d give my son’s kindergarten teacher the movie tickets – she is fantastic & really deserves some fun time with grownups!
I would give them to my brother, who just spent 4 years away from human civilzation in a camp with only 28 other people. He is in serious need to get reaquainted with citylife and family as we haven’t seen him in all those years.
I would give it to my daughter and her husband, they try to go to the movies every Friday Night. A new Empire opened up down the street from them and with the holidays she can’t afford to even go. And I don’t have an empire close to me (my town doesn’t even have a theater!) so I cant even buy her any tickets. Great contest!
I would take my friend who is a single mom, she needs a break !
We would deffinately give our second pack to my sister’s family because they are always treating my daughter to special treats and her boys deserve to share in the fun with us this time!
My wife, Dana. She is the hardest working woman I know (at home and at the office), and she would love it if she had more of an excuse (gift certificates!) to take a break and go see a film once in a while! She deserves it!!!
I would give them to my sister. She and I are both busy moms now and never get a chance to go to the movies but when we were younger we had a standing Monday Night Movie Night and would hit the double feature at our local theatre. We never missed our date night….except for one time when we found the perfect sofa sitting in our alley and rescued her for our basement suite. Aahhhh, thanks for the walk down memory lane!
our good friends who just had twins and desperately need to get out to the movies as well!
I would give the second pack to my good friend who is also pregnant with her second child and lacking in funds to go out with her hubby. We trade babysitting to give each other a break and I think this would be a welcome gift for them.
i would give it to a woman at my church who just lost her husband, they have 4 little ones. :(
I would give the second pack to my friend Crystal. She is going to be a new mommy soon and it would be a great excuse for her and her husband to get out for an evening.
I would give them to my husband’s grandfather. He is almost 92 and really enjoys going out to see movies.
I would love to share the tickets with my friend pregnant friend Christa. She has a busy 5 year old and has been unwell so she would appreciate a little fun right now!!!
I would give the second set to a good friend and her daughter. As a single mom and full-time student the last few months have been tough. This other mom (who is also a single mom)has been so generous and helpful to me and my daughter it would be nice to be able to give her something back.
I would give it to my brother- he’s hard to shop for, but he loves going to movies.
I would give it to my best friend Megan. She could take her fiance and sister to the movies.
I would give the 2nd pack to my niece who loves movies just as much as I do.
To my Mom. She loves movies as much, or more than me, and she’s taken me to so many over the years it would be nice to repay her.
This is what I really want to give to our daycare providers family. Our daycare is an extention of our family with the most loving and caring family. They love watching movies together as a family.
I would give it to my husband. He is movie watching addicted and he will make a good use of this package.
I would give it to my dear friend and her husband who have one son and another child on the way. I’d offer a night or two of babysitting so they could have a much needed date :)
Misti
I would give them to my mom, who is always there for me & my kids. She loves movies & deserves a break.
I would give it to my mother and father in law. They always babysit my kid and they deserve it for all the help they give us
I would give them to our friends who don’t get out to the movies often enough. They don’t have a lot of extra to be going out let alone paying the babysitter. I think it’d be a great gift for them to spend special time as a couple and/or as a family.
I would give the 2nd ticket pack to my parents who help to take care of our children whenever we need. A nice treat for them!
My dad and I have a tradition of going to the movies and I would defintitely give him the treat of movie nights for his stocking.
I would give the tickets to my mom because money is tight and she can’t really afford to go to the movies.
I’d give it to my mom, who’s a movie nut.
I would pick a young person at work. They’re always struggling with money and student loans, but they also need to have a social life.
I would give it to my niece who is saving for university and budgets with incredible discipline.
A movie would be a great treat for her!
I would give the gift cards to my dad. My mother is leaving to volunteer in Rwanda for a year, but my dad is staying here. I think he’s going to be a little lonely and could use the prompt to get out and enjoy himself.
i’d give it to my brother gil and his family to use!
i’d give it to my movie buff friend
I would give my second pack of Empire Theatre tickets and gift cards to the transition house for abused women and children that I used to work at in Surrey, BC. The women and kids in the transition house really appreciate a break from the stress of the difficult situation that they are going through.
To a mom I’d like to get to know, so she and I can go together!
Pick me! Pick me. We love going to the movies! I would give the 2nd pack to another family so we could go on a play date together!
