[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT-4o]

To determine the cost of each cinema ticket, we need to follow these steps:

1. **Identify the total amount spent by Tian**:
- Tian used a 10 pound note and received 70 pence in change.
- Therefore, the total amount he spent is:
\[
10 \, \text{pounds} - 0.70 \, \text{pounds} = 9.30 \, \text{pounds}
\]

2. **Determine the number of cinema tickets he bought**:
- Tian bought 3 cinema tickets.

3. **Calculate the cost of each ticket**:
- To find the cost per ticket, divide the total amount spent by the number of tickets:
\[
\text{Cost per ticket} = \frac{9.30 \, \text{pounds}}{3}
\]

4. **Perform the division**:
\[
\frac{9.30}{3} = 3.10 \, \text{pounds}
\]

Hence, each cinema ticket cost £3.10.
