Movie Theater Subscription Services • Page 76

I didn’t have a problem with surge pricing because when I saw it on the app it was 3.75. It seemed like a small enough amount that after seeing one movie I am basically paying just 3.75 for each movie after that. If it’s 7-8 dollars that’s too much. I also didn’t see a lot of surge pricing in my area which is Orlando but maybe because we have so many theaters it’s more spread out than cities with just 2-3 theaters.

 

If surge pricing was $2.50 I wouldn’t blink. But $5-$7 is ridiculous for the original product offered.

 

Seeing Teen Titans at 11:00 this morning solely to use this while I still can. Hope it works

 

that's the one i end up going to all the time. had a nice chat with the cashier about how his favorite movie is how high

 

It worked! No surcharge

 

Basically every showing of mamma Mia, equalizer, hotel Transylvania, teen titans, Mission Impossible (which is also grayed out anyways), and ant man in Austin are already at peak pricing for the day ranging from 4.20-5.75, even the ones at 11pm that have sold no seats. I get that they are strapped for cash and I’ve mostly been ok with the wild changes (surge price included), but this is pretty ridiculous at this point.

 

Titans at 11:00 was the only non surcharge showing so I took it, also yes going to the movies alone is the best.

 

Can’t stress this enough. I go with a friend often because he is super anxious about going solo and misses a lot of movies if we don’t go together but going to the movies solo is such a religious experience. You set the schedule, you set the timing, you create your own experiences, and you get to mull over the film during your drive home. Yesterday the girl next to me during eighth grade went by herself, ate a whole pizza, and had a great cry at the movies and I was jealous as shit of her Friday night out.

 

equalizer being surge pricing is ridiculous i agree with that haha... same with Hotel Transylvania 3.

I could totally understand surge pricing for Marvel movies, Star wars movie, harry potter movies etc. and like Friday/Saturday/Sunday nights... but i do agree that anything else is pretty rough.

 

so with all the recent stuff in the past few weeks and the 5 million dollar loan, is it safe to say moviepass will be done by end of summer 2018?

 

I think the only thing that bothers me for Equalizer / Hotel Transylvania being surge pricing is the fact that some of these 9pm / 11pm showings haven't sold a single ticket yet and it's supposed to be demand based. I know it's supposed to factor in the whole market but literally no showing of Hotel Transylvania here in town has sold a single seat yet past 9pm yet the surge is already in effect. I'm all for having to show up earlier in the day to buy a ticket to avoid surge pricing, but when I am limited to surge or nothing it becomes a little unreasonable.

I'd honestly be ok with paying surge if I was trying to go watch Ant Man or Mission Impossible today, I think that's super reasonable for a marvel movie or a major blockbuster on a saturday night, $5.70 is still a deal for what would otherwise be $10-$12

 

I don't think it's "safe" to say anything since people have been calling time of death for moviepass since May at this point, but i'd be REALLY surprised if they survived this whole Loan ordeal past the Wednesday due date.

Gonna try to catch one more movie today to reach 40 and anything after that will just be a sweet bonus.

 

TEEN TITANS GO TO THE MOVIES WAS SO GOOD

 

Getting really good reviews, sounds like it's at the very least a big step up from the average TTG episode. Would I still like it if I generally hate the show?

 

I mean, the loan they took out is due within a week , right? I don’t know if they will get past that.

 

I’ve never seen either show, humor is pretty dumb but I love dumb humor. LEGO movie level of humor I’d say.

 

So I’m at a small Cinemark , and here is how I got around the surge pricing for big movies before they started putting a surge on every movie at theater. I would buy a ticket to movie without a surge and then go into the movie I actually wanted to see. Today, every movie had a surge. Ridiculous

 

With assigned seating now and what not at most places I think that would be kinda hard especially at newer movies.

 

Yeah I guess I’m just lucky at mine , but this surge pricing has gotten out of gand

 

Eighth Grade is surge pricing now too, RIP Moviepass

 

What is eighth grade

 

The surge pricing rollout is so confusing to me. I'm in what I consider a fairly major city and I don't have Surge Pricing on ANYTHING. Saw Mission Impossible yesterday cause I got my ticket in the very brief period it was available on the app and I'm about to go see Three Identical Strangers

 

FUCKKKKKKK

 

I think it's the grade between 7th and 9th but I've been wrong before.

 

Yeah, I have checked maybe 6/7 theatres and every major movie is surge price except Jurassic world and the new oceans movie.
