Orange Cinema Returns to Basel Munsterplatz, 5th – 29th August 2010.

After a years holiday Orange Cinema comes back to Basel from 5th to 29th August 2010. Sponsored by the Basler Kantonalbank in partnership with Orange and a whole team of organisers. We can once more experience great Open Air Cinema on the Munster Square, above the Rhein in Basel. Tickets are on sale from 21st July onwards and cost CHF19.- which includes a free ice-cream! Tickets can be purchased from Tickets online, Starticket, at the Orange Web, Orange Cinema office box and of course over the phone. There's the Orange Cine day which is every Tuesday (no clash with theenglishshow as the shows begin around 21:00 as it starts to get dark). It's an offer; when you buy a ticket you get one free for a friend or relative, that's two tickets for the price of one, check it out. All this info of course is updated on the web.
