The Competition Bureau challenged Cineplex's $1.50 online booking fee as deceptive 'drip pricing' - advertising a ticket price that is not actually attainable once the mandatory fee is added. In 2024 the Competition Tribunal ordered a penalty of roughly $38.9 million. Cineplex has appealed. Related consumer claims turn on having paid the online booking fee.
