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.
Sure, but before I was guaranteed to not get the better seats because to do so I’d have to get there like an hour before the trailers started
Different experiences I guess! I'm just crabbing I still love going to da movies
Oh absolutely I just thought it was interesting!
Love a movie, love a movie theater
