CONVENIENCE FEES HAHAHAHA
God what a scam that shit is
"Hey, we saved money by computerization, so we're gonna pass that cost onto you!"
"Don't you mean 'pass the savings onto us?'"
:D "Nope!"
What you don't find paying extra money convenient?
... and on top of that you have to watch like ten minutes' worth of ads at the beginning. Ugh.
I quit going to movies when they started blaring loud obnoxious commercials under the guise of "entertainment" prior to the movies supposed start time. Going to a movie used to be a social thing you did with friends, but now with them blasting that shit at you at a volume that makes talking impossible what the fuck is even the point? The fact that ticket prices are climbing to this level with this kind of jack assery is ludicrous. And don't get me started on the 20-30 minutes of previews they show after a movies supposed start time. Just fuck this shit.
So you haven't been to a movie theater in, like, 20 years? Because none of that is new.
Question from an European: What is that convenience fee? Which costs does it cover?
Nothing for the customer. It's just convenient for the theater to charge more for the ticket.
Nothing, it's just an extra charge so that the company can make more money.
Answer from another: nothing. We also have them in various places, like parking, or highway vignettes - you are not using their facilities, you save them money, so they charge you some extra
I saw Indiana Jones today it had 25 minutes of trailers, an admonishment to not ruin the movie, Nicole Kidman telling me how great going to the movies is, and a commercial for the projector. So a movie listed to start at 11 started at 11:28. it’s fucking ridiculous.
I bought a 65" TV for $300 and good speakers. Never been to a cinema after that
I got a $600 projector and have about 90 inch display ( can hit 120 if my apartment was bigger). No need to go to a cinema, overpay for drinks and snacks, and I can pause and pee whenever I want.
The hell is a “convenience fee”?
That's when you pay extra because money is yucky
Find a new theater, you're being robbed.
I work at a pretty high end movie theater. All seats are recliners with tables, there's a full wet bar and restaurant quality food, and we do events and shit too. Tickets typically run $10-$15. This is ridiculous.
What the fuck? A convenience fee??? They're just making shit up at this point
I gave up on theaters a long time ago. I wanna watch a movie in my PJs, smoke pot, and pause it when I need to. Plus I get lots of kitty snuggles during the viewing as well.
An exterminator told me that a lot of cinemas have issues with bedbugs. Since then, I haven’t been able to set foot in one.
This is why you should support any surviving local theaters that aren't chains. Monopolies aren't created solely by the companies but with the help of the consumers too
I think you're going to the wrong place. That or the US is just insane.
I think I'd pay about £8 (approx $10.11) per ticket here in the UK. That is without buying food.
This reminds me... AMC wanted to test selling tickets at a higher cost based on seat location... corporate greed will keep folks at home.
How is it legal to make up a fee then offer a paid membership to avoid the fee you just made up? How is that different from the mob guys that would collect your "insurance" membership so that you didn't incur a "business burned down" fee?
Because our governments don't care about us because 40% of the country hates themselves.
That's ridiculous. I can get recliner seats with tons of arm room and reserved seating for $15 CDN. $12 for a matinee showing.
Holy shit that's outrageous. Me, 2 other adults and 1 kid all saw Spider-Verse 2 at the fanciest theater I know the other week. It was like $7 a ticket. You're being robbed.
For real. With just a short wait, I can spend less, own the movie permanently, and watch it without wearing pants. Wins all around.
There was a movie theater when I was a kid in the 80s and you could see movies that had already stopped being shown in the regular theaters for a while for $1. So, like, if you missed Return of the Jedi or Temple of Doom in its original run, you could catch it later on the big screen for $1.
As a producer who aims to make 2-10 million dollar genre flicks, I don't see why ticket prices shouldn't be scaled to budgets. Don't want to pay 25 bucks to see Avengers 16? Pay 10 to see a low to mid budget crime or horror flick instead.
To keep profits up, theaters should bring back double features, intermissions, and sell popcorn with THC butter. Snack sales will explode.
and sell popcorn with THC butter.
Your ideas are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.
This is my favourite theatre anywhere. It's completely non-profit and the prices are great: https://salmartheatre.com/prices/
The theatre was built after World War II to raise money for an ice arena, which it did successfully. Since then, it has put all of its profits back into the community: https://salmartheatre.com/about/
This world truly can be better.
JESUS FUCK. I can pay $20 a month for UNLIMITED movies.
wtf, lol...I pay Regal like $22/mo for unlimited movies and discounts on snacks, which I actually end up using quite a bit.
Tickets at my local theater is still lik $8. Wtf do you live?
Have to hit the matinees. I take my son to a nearby movie theatre that has a full bar/menu and the tickets for he and I to go are around or under $20 for both of us. It's like $9.25 per person.
You should find some small local cinemas. Sure screen is smaller, but so is the price and the atmosphere is great.
