… 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.

Question from an European: What is that convenience fee? Which costs does it cover?

Nothing, it’s just an extra charge so that the company can make more money.

Nothing for the customer. It’s just convenient for the theater to charge more for the ticket.

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

They still are. I have no idea what this price is from, tickets where I live at normal theaters are still under $10 at most

It’s most likely a 3D or IMAX movie. Could not see why else it is so expensive.

Same thing going on here in Finland. Movie tickets are often 20-25 € for “normal” movies, shit ton of ads to go through and rude customers scrolling Insta or talking through out the movie.

It’s not the best theater experience in the world but tickets to a standard screening near me are $8 for regular or $5 for matinee. Much better than the $26 per ticket I spent elsewhere for Avatar…
