The old system you absolutely had to get there early to get a good seat, as it was first come first serve. New system I can buy tickets in advance, and pick the perfect seat. If there’s no good seats, I won’t go. Or at least I know what I’m getting beforehand.

Totally agreed on pricing though, it’s fucked.

While I'm not trying to piss in your cereal hwre, from my point of view, I got there early enough for a great seat and some motherfuckers already took the seat, then the ticket cost, then the food cost...

Also, it's not Intercontinental travel, I shouldn't need to book in advance to have a good experience. The whole point of the experience for me is that you could spontaneously just go and have the whole experience. That's all gone now, and I would have to plan way in advance to even get good seats. It's not worth it for me.

There are still theaters like that, and they serve beer and pizza, so I go there instead.

Sounds like your issue is with being in crowded cities while going to popular places. Find an underground theater or move to Wyoming and you'll definitely be able to enjoy that experience.

(I'm sorry Wyoming, you probably didn't deserve that)

There are underground theaters here. They're great!
