Different experiences I guess! I'm just crabbing I still love going to da movies
Maybe so, but if you do this today at a theater that pre-sells assigned seats, you're guaranteed not to get the better seats which have been pre-selected, even if you are there first.
(Double whammy when people file in during the movie because they are not in a rush to get a seat)
I feel the same way about concerts. Live Nation and Ticketmaster would not be a thing if mfers from around the world did not have purchase access to the show happening down the street from me. Just let me walk over and buy from the ticket agent and let's be done with the transaction.
You mean in the past? No there was just no assigned seating, they sold tickets until the theater was full and that was it.
What I miss about this is that 1) there was a benefit to being early, 2) there was actual social interaction involved (eg "excuse me we have three, could you move down one?"), and 3) if all else failed sitting separately is really not a big deal. Plus 4) people knew to show up early to get good seats so people were actually on time to the showtime. Drives me up a wall when I'm sitting in a shitty seat in a half-empty theater, while for the first 10 minutes of the movie people file in to their assigned, better seats
That's my rant
Edit plus 5) like, if your plans changed you didn't get fucked over nor did you fuck the theater and another moviegoer. You just didn't go. There was no credit card refund and empty seat in the theater involved
unassigned seats in movie theaters
Couldn't disagree more, I just want to show up and buy my ticket at the window, I don't want to F5 the theater website a week in advance for the showtime I want. I hate online sale of tickets for just about all in person events
Can't help but see this grandstanding as a bad, unconvincing sideshow while the people in actual power do whatever they want.
