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
>>70659328
I love pre-assigned seats.
>>70659328
Welcome to civilization
>>70659328
>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.
>>70659328
>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.
>>70659328
How about fuck you, nobody has time to wait for an hour before the movie starts to get good seats anymore.
>>70659328
>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
>>70659414
They have sensors in the seats to detect if someone is sitting in an unpaid seat.
>>70659441
>People don't tend to fuck with me
>>70659518
This has to be a meme, right
>>70659518
In my country they have buzzers if you're sitting in an unpaid seat.
>>70659530
That dude looks pretty badass, you're not helping disprove his point.
>>70659547
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.
>>70659596
They've yet to implement those here, but that's going to be super embarrassing.
>>70659547
It's about as much a meme as a cinema serving seafood.
>>70659414
In my theater, you have to insert your ticket into a little receptacle the seat has so it unlocks and folds down.
>>70659630
*got an alert on his Alert Badge
>>70659609
He doesnt really look badass, but its true I probably would mess with him in a theater
>>70659518
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.
>>70659609
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
>>70659649
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.
>>70659688
>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?
>>70659718
Are you me?
>>70659752
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."
>>70659718
what
>mfw I get the back row middle seat
>>70659861
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.
>>70659676
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.
>>70659328
What the fuck is this? Assigned seating in a theater or what? Is this a European thing?
>>70659547
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
>>70659831
Jesus Christ, where do you live? Darkest Africa?
>>70659328
Who /centralhorizontallyandvertically/ here?
>>70659906
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
>>70659414
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?
>>70659361
>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.
>>70659328
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.
>>70660073
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
>>70660140
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
>>70660140
How does your pic have a 143XXX filename? If you saved the OP's pic it would have been 146XXX.
Help me understand.
>>70660173
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..
>>70659841
That's a pretty good idea.
>>70660104
>buy tickets online
>ensure you have the best seats reserved
>"subhuman"
Okay pal
>>70660051
>Can't even read that I said she doesn't know
>Probably some fat fuck American
Of course.
>>70660104
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.
>>70660201
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
>>70660140
The blue seats are the seats still available
>>70660223
>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
>>70659649
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.
>>70659824
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.
>>70660288
>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.
>>70660283
baited for this exact response
>>70660314
When you order you can't make gaps of 1, thats how it works..
>>70660361
>"I refuse to believe anyone on /tv/ 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
>>70659328
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
>>70659328
Is that single seat in the middle a trap?
>>70660392
oh I see my failing, I meant when people are allowed to sit freely they create gaps everywhere that groups can't fit into
>>70660416
What if if you enter at the top ey??? Many theathers are like that, like half at my local cinema.
>>70659530
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.
>>70660467
you're right, i've been bamboozled by my experience with local theaters
>>70660447
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
>>70660545
you got a problem with that? get up autist.
>>70660545
Get the fuck out of my seat
>>70660545
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
>>70659328
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.
>>70659868
The best seat is directly in the middle fampai

>>70660795
yeah no
>>70660795
Never seen or heard of them. They must only be in big cities if they do exist here.
>>70660853
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
>>70660173
>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
>>70660930
Sucks to be you. I live in Ohio and every movie theater I've ever been to doesn't have assigned seating.
>>70659328
>implying you have to sit in the same seats u buy ticket for if cinema is half empy
>>70659328
I fucking hate buying tickets early in open areas only to find myself surrounded by kids.
>>70661110
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
>>70661146
I've never seen one or even heard of one.
>>70659721
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
>>70661189
Okay that's great but again not my point
>>70659530

>>70661222
Just wondering why I've never encountered one of them before.
>>70659328
go to a general admission showing
I live in America and there's only one theater near me (A Cinemark), that has this and I can't fucking stand it. Me and a bunch of friends all went to see Civil War opening weekend and it was a massive disaster because some didn't have their tickets because a bunch of assholes bought theirs online like 6 months ago. Also fuck the Cinemark altogether, it's the worst, most overpriced theater I've ever been to
>>70661778
cinemark is the cheapest here in southern california
$9 at nights compared to like $12 everywhere else at regals or AMC
>>70661902
Here in Maryland it's a totally different story. Like 9 or 10 in the day, and at least 15 at night, probably more. Once I went with my dad and we each got a medium drink and popcorn and it was 25 bucks. I hate going to those big chain theaters anyway. I love the feel of going to a locally owned theater, and it's usually a lot cheaper too.
>>70660195
he changed it to trigger autists
>>70660140
those are the single only seats
notice how they keep them away from anyone else
I actually bring crutches with me and occupy the handicapped seats so nobody makes fun of me for going alone
instead it's a feeling of pity instead of disgust
I didn't notice this assigned seating thing until I went to see TFA when it came out and I thought it was only for big releases. Later on however a couple more theaters around where I live started doing it but strangely enough, the Mall's theater doesn't.
>>70660914
we have assigned seats in north dakota, then again they are recliners and on tuesday every ticket is only $5 so it's all pure win
>>70660222
You don't fucking know if they're the best seats available beforehand. What if you end up surrounded by niggers or in front of a 7 ft tall guy?
>>70661992
>I love the feel of going to a locally owned theater
Enjoy your tiny screen experience, faggot. I'll be filling my entire field of vision with art, thanks.
these are the only movies showing at my local theatre
>>70659414
So they don't have anyone tearing tickets? Otherwise you could just go to free to any cinema that doesn't have preassigned seats as well...
>>70659328
I hate that you have to buy 2. Fucking no singles policy.
>>70663182
The Wailing sounds interesting desu but it's not out around me.

Me and my wife always pick the groups of four seats and pick the two in the middle so no one will sit next to us. I've had too many movies ruined by fat people trying to drape over me, I don't pay $20 for that bullshit
>>70663182
Sing Street was amazing
>>70661140
This, the one thing I hate about this system is having to guess what age and type of idiot you'll be surrounded by.
If you stay in your seat, enjoy paying for a 50/50 chance of being annoyed by a ring of twats on one or all sides of you for several hours.
If you move, now you have to play duck, duck, goose in the dark.
>inb4 speak up instead of being a little bitch
Speak up to the vague number of people in front, behind and on both sides of you?
Have fun paying to miss your movie so you can micromanage a little league team of attention starved punks.
>>70664050
The correct answer is the back row. You must also bring your own plastic & duct tape to wrap your footrests directly in front of you. When I feel like it, this is also the best place for HD camrips. BASED back row.
>>70659328

Can confirm, Italian father, I look like a mafioso as well. Girls always say that I look scary sometimes.
>>70659328
Then buy your ticket online early enough and pick the goddamn seat you want.
Jesus, assigned seating is one of the best things about theaters in recent years.
How in the fuck could you possibly enjoy scrambling for a good seat or showing up 45 minutes early when you could just roll in 3 minutes till and know you have the best seat in the house.

It's going to be the norm here too soon enough. There's only one theater in my city that doesn't offer this and that's the second run cheap seats. I used to be like you but I'm on board now, much prefer buying my ticket and not having to worry about lines or hunting for a seat when I show up.

Lets say its a popular movie and its a 8 pm showing with reserved seats. I want the best seat possible ; center. I select it and I buy the ticket. Now that seat is mine and mine alone unless I don't go.
You got a problem with that? Fucking deal with it. That is how the system works. Don't like it? Don't go. Fuck face.
My local theater, in Texas, started this shit recently and I hate it.
>>70667422
are you only able to pick the ones in the back?
or actually, just the ones in the front?
how does it work senpai?
>>70667854
I can choose whichever seat is available at the time, regardless of my skin color.

>>70667422
Fuck off nigger
>>70659547
It's not. My theater doesn't have the sensors but they do know which seats are paid for and usually do a check before the movie to make sure no one is taking a seat they didn't buy.
>>70659688
Your usual theater must be old as fuck. The decent and upgraded theaters with nice and cushy lounge seats are always monitored.
>>70660104
>Where the fuck does this happen? Europe?
Good ol' U.S.A. It's basically a theater upgrade. You reserve seats and they are comfier too. If it hasn't happened to you yet, then your local theater is not upgraded.
>>70659831
toppest kek
was 3d pushed to stop the camrips?
>>70660740
I'm from the U.S and I reserve my seat like this you uncivilized idiot. You probably live in the south.
>>70661268
Because your a poor redneck who visits shit tier theaters. Try going to a theater with luxury seats.
