“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!”

Honestly they probably spend so much on devs to maintain their website that they don’t break even lmao

The amount you’d save not hiring physical ticket sales workers would absolutely dwarf any amount of possible dev salaries for one website.

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

Convenience fee is the best name they can apply to soften a fee, which is really just a way for them to charge more than the list price.

Fees should be universally folded into the list price by default.

You might be seeing fees I’m not, but some cell service are actually mandatory in the US. Usually a few dollars a month, they go to various state and federal agencies.

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.
