I hate this bullshit. I just want to buy my ticket and sit in whatever seat I feel like

I hate this bullshit. I just want to buy my ticket and sit in whatever seat I feel like.

me too op
i like sitting as far away from women as possible but when its like this i cant control it

I love pre-assigned seats.

Welcome to civilization

>Go to cinema as the movie is about to start
>Look on your phone to see what seats are empty
>Sneak in and sit in one of the free seats
>???
>You just saved a bunch of money

Been doing that shit with the wife for years now and never even told her I didn't pay. In Australia it's $30 a ticket, and no I'm not kidding.

>not buying every other seat and cucking someone of your choice

I just walk in and sit down wherever I want regardless as I like to be able to choose which undesirables to avoid. I look like a mafioso so people don't tend to fuck with me if I'm in their seat.

How about fuck you, nobody has time to wait for an hour before the movie starts to get good seats anymore.

>I just want to buy my ticket and sit in whatever seat I feel like.
Then get there first. This logic also has nothing to do with assigned seating, you retarded fat fuck.

Buying specific seats would ruin the pre movie experience. Last time I went this dude was saving seats for a family of 6 and this black dude and his kids warned him they better show up soon.

Then afterwords some fat white trash turned around and tried to act hard like he would have helped fight the black dude.

Pure prekino

They have sensors in the seats to detect if someone is sitting in an unpaid seat.

>People don't tend to fuck with me

This has to be a meme, right

In my country they have buzzers if you're sitting in an unpaid seat.

That dude looks pretty badass, you're not helping disprove his point.

No this is serious, I had an usher tell me he got an alerts Alert badge (whatever the fuck that is) and that I had to show him my ticket and go back to my original seat or I was going to be escorted out.

They've yet to implement those here, but that's going to be super embarrassing.

It's about as much a meme as a cinema serving seafood.

In my theater, you have to insert your ticket into a little receptacle the seat has so it unlocks and folds down.

*got an alert on his Alert Badge

He doesnt really look badass, but its true I probably would mess with him in a theater

No they don't. I've been doing this for nearly 5 years now, so unless my cinema is managed and staffed by betas who are scared of a 5'6" manlet and his 5' tall Asian wife, then I'm calling you FOS.

>Having a non-paying customer costs them literally nothing
>The opportunity cost is literally zero, unless I were to scum fuck my way into a full cinema and a paying customer had to leave and get a refund
>The depreciation caused by my ass on their seats is near nil, considering the sheer volume of customers they have on a daily basis

vs

>Let's put expensive sensors in the seats, which have to be maintained and replaced when a 300lb fat fuck sits down on it too hard
>If someone puts their shit on the seat, then we're gonna get false flags and disturb customers
>We have to get our staff to go and check on any sensor that is showing a non-paying customer, and that'll take away from customer service at the ticket/candy bar
>We probably have to also hire additional staff to monitor and enforce this system

Guess which one, faggot.

I'm sorry. I don't want an ass beating and katana stabbing, sorry my handsome sir.

>tfw can't go to movie theatre because scared of driving

yeah some pretentious rich snob place does that shit
their theatre isnt as good and screens arent as good
and they have no cheap ticket prices, to weed out the smelly black people,

i went to the AMC across the street and just suffered through the piss smell of niggers and realized i should have just paid a little extra

That sounds uncomfortable and horrible. What kind of cinema treats all customers as criminals so the minority can be punished?

Literal DRM-tier shit right there.

>no they don't

I'm sorry, are we talking about THE cinema operators? Like the guys who operate a coalition that owns EVERY cinema?

Are you me?

Well where I live the screens are blurred as fuck so we have to use these special glasses to see the film clearly, all just to stop shitty camrips no one gives a fuck about

can you buy the surrounding seats, then refund those seats when the movie starts? just be like, "oh my friends cancelled at the last minute."

what

>mfw I get the back row middle seat

there's this movie theatre near my old college, but driving is a fucking nightmare for me, and it's always crowded there, tons of other cars, limited parking. right turns on red lights are the worst thing ever too.

But he does, just look at that chin, that shave head, that perfectly groomed beard. If he wasn't wearing such baggy pants and found a fedora that actually matches his coat he'd be perfect.

What the fuck is this? Assigned seating in a theater or what? Is this a European thing?

no it's actually gotten much worse at my theater i just took a seat (there was less than 5 in the room)

and two huge men approaced me aiming their guns at me dressed in armored gear and had assault rifles, told me i was not sitting the singles only seat

i then had to either take a 2 year jail sentence or do 6 months manual labor in the theater crab mines

>wait for movie to spend a couple of weeks at the theater so that the crowd dies down
>check seating before going
>fuck yes it's empty
>reach cinema parking lot, check seating again
>a couple have just bought tickets
>sigh and drive home
Every time

Jesus Christ, where do you live? Darkest Africa?

Who /centralhorizontallyandvertically/ here?

no one forces you to go right on red, if you think it isn't safe to go, don't do it. The impatient people behind you aren't going to pay for your car if you get in an accident, so forget them.

>not sitting in the front row far left for the ultimate movie experience

You and your wife sound like trash people

>Australia

Of course

should I go watch a movie at the midday or at night

also should I take notes?

Is this a meme? What kind of fascist country has assigned seating for movie theaters?

who middle-middle master race here?

>pre assigned seats
>civilized
No. That's simply a sign of being subhuman. You can't even be trusted to walk in and pick a seat without starting an altercation.
Where the fuck does this happen? Europe?
How horrifying.

Last time I went to the movies (Alvin & The Chipmunks 3: The Roadchip) the Cinema was hosting a kid's birthday party and the rented clown kept throwing bits off cake frosting at me and making exaggerated fart noises and then suggesting to the kids that it was I who was farting. Whenever I would turn around to shh him he would just honk his horn in my face.

midday - it's cheaper and there'll be less people

at night you'll also encounter more normies who will mock you for being alone

...

What's the problem? I go to the cinema alone when none of my friends are interested in seeing the movie.

>tfw people are sitting next to you at the movie theatre and you start internally farting because of the pressure on your intestines from sitting and you try to hold in the farting, but it actually starts making an even audibly larger rumbling

pic semi-related it's a chicago hotdog that is sometimes served at movie theatres

How does your pic have a 143XXX filename? If you saved the OP's pic it would have been 146XXX.

Help me understand.

usually only you can hear the rumbling because it's internal

-Australia
Premiere of The dark knight
-usher comes in and yells: you all have to sit next to eac others, it's gonna be filled up tonight.
Otherwise people are scathered 2-3 away from each other at normal showings.

-go back to europe, get to book the seat you want, sweet jesus civilzation is nice..

That's a pretty good idea.

>buy tickets online
>ensure you have the best seats reserved
>"subhuman"

Okay pal

>Can't even read that I said she doesn't know

>Probably some fat fuck American

Of course.

There are a ton of places in America that do this, in my city alone there are 4. I only use them when I'm watching a movie on opening weekend otherwise I just go to a normal theater

I've never heard of anything like this.

Idk man, it's really fucking loud, like louder than when a person's stomach grumbles

I would know because I was doing a group project with a girl in a library cubicle in college and I started internally farting because I was nervous and it was so fucking loud I had to excuse myself to the restroom and then she left packed up and left immediately when I came back

also I like having the movie screen eye level

The blue seats are the seats still available

>lies to his wife because he's ashamed he can't afford 2 tickets to the movies
>thinks he has any right to insult people

Lmao

Da fuck? Where do you live

in America I think only theaters in big cities do it, because they'll reliably hit near-max capacity. But if you let people pick seats themselves, then there'd be gaps of 1-2 seats everywhere that don't fit groups coming in. That's lost money for the theater. But it also takes money to set up and maintain the seat system so that's why it's only viable in more dense areas.

If one cinema finds that a certain method of enforcing this shit is cost-effective, it usually follows suit. Those sensors have to be manufactured and marketed by somebody, so it's not like they are going to keep it quiet that they now have cost effective measures to enforce this shit.

May as well meme that they put thumb tacks on seats and only take them off when someone buys a ticket for that seat.

I've never really found this a problem where I'm from, always get to sit wherever the fuck I want without issue.
I also happen to live in the middle of fucking nowhere near a theatre fucking nobody actually goes to.

>Little faggot who lives with his parents
>Doesn't know that in the real world $60 is alot of money, unless you're some little lying faggot whose uncle works at Nintendo

Your age is showing.

baited for this exact response

When you order you can't make gaps of 1, thats how it works..

>"I refuse to believe anyone on Sup Forums has a better life and makes more money than me so if anyone insinuates that I'm gonna call them a child who lives with their parents!"

Kek, someone is insecure

this layout makes no sense, they don't put the handicap seats in the back, they're near the front because the handicapped people can't be expected to go up the stairs or ramps

Is that single seat in the middle a trap?

oh I see my failing, I meant when people are allowed to sit freely they create gaps everywhere that groups can't fit into

What if if you enter at the top ey??? Many theathers are like that, like half at my local cinema.

I said mafioso, not fedora autist. And it's true, if you look like a stereotypical Italian people don't tend to fuck with you.

you're right, i've been bamboozled by my experience with local theaters

My bad, read it wrong, we are in agreement. Let people chose, lots of seats inbetween available, people come late. Don't want to arguee, make people move, go get their money back.

We have the technology, first by best seat, fair and square

>excuse me sir that's my seat

you got a problem with that? get up autist.

Get the fuck out of my seat

move before I kick your teeth in with my toothpick

Lol that sucks that there really is theaters like that Ive always been able to sit anywhere if you come late you get a shitty spot.I love bringing a small bottle of jack and mixing it with some coke

I can understand appearances allowing for you to sit wherever the hell you want, I look like a creeper, anti-social, standoffish, distant asshole that gives off the vibe of wanting to sit alone.

>tfw you sit at 8

Never seen or heard of shit like this before. Here in the US you pay for your ticket, go in and sit wherever the fuck you want.

The best seat is directly in the middle fampai

>mfw i sit at 7 and she doesn't move her feet

The US has a bunch of assigned seating theaters moron

yeah no

Never seen or heard of them. They must only be in big cities if they do exist here.

Funny, I live in Texas and I've been to at least 2 different assigned seating theaters. Guess I don't live in the US

>you start internally farting because of the pressure on your intestines from sitting and you try to hold in the farting, but it actually starts making an even audibly larger rumbling

Chicago style movie going experience

Sucks to be you. I live in Ohio and every movie theater I've ever been to doesn't have assigned seating.

>implying you have to sit in the same seats u buy ticket for if cinema is half empy

I fucking hate buying tickets early in open areas only to find myself surrounded by kids.

Where in my post did I say that every single theater here was assigned seating? The point I was making is that they exist in America

I've never seen one or even heard of one.

every fuckin chain cinema in the uk does that shit now

its fucking shit, they even made the cheap seats less comfortable to push them into the expensive cushy leather ones

i just go near the end of the run, buy cheapest ticket and sit wherever the fuck i want, if someone comes that paid to sit there, I'll move

when I go soon after the release, and its pretty busy but not packed i just get up after the film starts, plonk my arse in one of the free good seats and enjoy the ire of the cucks that fall for the jewry

Okay that's great but again not my point

one sword two handles

wew

Just wondering why I've never encountered one of them before.
