  - Especially that one -- nm - professor smartbrain Apr 30, 10:19
  - I manage to average about that price for movie tickets, but it's with careful use of coupons, scene points and cheap Tuesday nights -- nm - Guigue Apr 30, 10:06
  - I am taking the family to see it Saturday, I am prepared to drop damn near 100 bucks -- nm - Gjallergroin x 3 Apr 30, 10:04 50

        $405.50 in rewards....*boggles* I've let to Spend $400.00. I'm just coming up on a year of membership but still.. - JD Apr 30, 10:30
        
        wow - that totally makes sense. We have a small chain across the street and they can't compete with the others, so they have crazy cheap tickets -- nm - Epiphany Apr 30, 10:30
      - $13ish for a non-matinee 2D. I buy the AMC Gold/Regal Passes from Costco a lot though. Good for every movie, any showtime, including opening weekend -- nm - MDH Apr 30, 10:23 1

        *fist bump* - Epiphany Apr 30, 10:39 1
        
        I have a lot of faults, but I never wanna feel like being a bad dad is one of them. -- nm - Gjallergroin x 3 Apr 30, 10:41

        You are a good dad, friend. - Guigue Apr 30, 10:15
        
        I just ask to use the microwave in the break room and I make my own popcorn -- nm - Guigue Apr 30, 10:11 3
        
        haha. but seriously, drinks and chocolate? bring it in, -- nm - Andie Apr 30, 10:11 2
        
        I like that you're coming off as Naughty Aunt Andie in this thread - con_carne Apr 30, 10:18
        
        They used to go through bags when I was younger, not anymore. They didn't even check my gigantic backpack yesterday, and it was a advanced screening -- nm - Guigue Apr 30, 10:13

        i have yet to see a DBox movie. -- nm - Andie Apr 30, 10:11 4
        
        It's in the same theater though, there's just a row of DBOX seats. -- nm - Guigue Apr 30, 10:12 3
        
        yeah, i tried a couple times but they were always sold out. -- nm - Andie Apr 30, 10:12 2
        
        Really? I didn't think it was popular. I can't imagine what it would be like for Avengers. That movie was so loud already, everything was shaking - Guigue Apr 30, 10:14 1
        
        I see more people shooed out of those seats than I do sitting in them. (But I'll rarely go to a crowded show) -- nm - Roger More Apr 30, 10:18
    - i was about to buy us tickets, with reserved seating, for Sunday but it was over $40 for 2. I couldn't do it. -- nm - Andie Apr 30, 10:05 2

      - we typically just wait and buy the blu-ray/DVD now. cheaper and can watch whenever and how ever many times we want -- nm - Beaker Apr 30, 10:06
    - can you get movie packages at Costco? That is what we do now for the kids. $10 gets you the ticket plus snack -- nm - Beaker Apr 30, 10:05 11
      - can you use them for opening weekend shows? -- nm - Gjallergroin x 3 Apr 30, 10:05 10
        
        yeah, this I don't know -- nm - Beaker Apr 30, 10:05 9
        
        Pretty sure you can as they aren't promotinal passes. -- nm - Shaun Apr 30, 10:12 8
        
        I found a lot of those type packs are not valid for movies opening weekends. - Gjallergroin x 3 Apr 30, 10:13 7
        
        Perhaps, I don't know 100% though. -- nm - Shaun Apr 30, 10:14 6
        
        pretty sure ours are (I had to check :) ) - Beaker Apr 30, 10:17 5
        
        How much are the 2 adult passes now? iirc, it's $27? -- nm - Shaun Apr 30, 10:19 4
        
        $25 I think. 2 drinks, 2 tickets 1 popcorn -- nm - Beaker Apr 30, 10:21 3
        
        That's a good deal. Might have to grab one for Avengers. -- nm - Shaun Apr 30, 10:22 2
        
        Most Costco's also have the 2 tickets deal for $16/17 -- nm - MDH Apr 30, 10:27 1
        
        For Cineplex Theatres? -- nm - Shaun Apr 30, 10:33
- You get a movie tickets for $6.49? - Guigue Apr 30, 09:59 7
  - Heh. AMC pricing in the area is that the first show for a given screen is the cheapest ticket price. Typically $6.49-$6.99 - JD Apr 30, 10:21 2
    - So it's a new AMC location then? -- nm - con_carne Apr 30, 10:24 1
      - Re-done. The AMC 20 in Fullerton has been converted recliners / reserved seats on one side with a lobby bar and then Cinema Suites and Fork&Dine - JD Apr 30, 10:34
  - word. -- nm - Beaker Apr 30, 10:02
  - No kidding. $10 is cheap night here. -- nm - Shaun Apr 30, 10:01 2
    - Tuesday night here is going to be a freaking madhouse this week -- nm - Beaker Apr 30, 10:07 1

  - To eat and relax. -- nm - jaxSean Apr 30, 09:51
- How is Dallas as an airport? - ReluctantCynic Apr 30, 09:48 6
  - DFW is better than ORD but I always shoot over to the much nicer international terminal if I have a longish domestic layover. - iSpam Apr 30, 09:53 1
    - this -- nm - Epiphany Apr 30, 10:25
  - And if you spend the night on a camp-cot there don't pick a spot near security..... - Meg Apr 30, 09:51 3
    - that camp cot stuff is very cray cray -- nm - Epiphany Apr 30, 10:25 2
      - That's when you find out how they keep the place clean...vacuuming, carpet cleaning, scissor lifts to change light bulbs....... - Meg Apr 30, 10:29 1
        
        :/ -- nm - Epiphany Apr 30, 10:30
- Where are you coming from? The layover doesn't bother me much... - ty97 Apr 30, 09:34 5
  - PDX-PHL - znufrii Apr 30, 09:39 4

        damn the airlines and their crafty ticket prices - Epiphany Apr 30, 10:38
    - I'd take it. You won't get any sleep with the stopover. - iSpam Apr 30, 09:47
Hmm, that's a new one. Off-shore boiler room that wants to sell me a funeral insurance plan that's "just been approved in California" - Meg Apr 30, 08:53 4
- If they only knew who they were calling they'd be buying two plans for themselves right now -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 30, 14:21
- and pending in 49 states! -- nm - Max Apr 30, 09:12
- They have no idea what comes next. Hopefully they bought some insurance themselves. -- nm - Krusty Apr 30, 09:09 1
  - she's gonna swing by on her way to the cruise ship like De Niro getting Waingro at the end of Heat -- nm - professor smartbrain Apr 30, 09:30
In the first quarter of the year, the WWE sold 450k PPV's at $49.99 to $69.99. - Will Hunting Apr 30, 08:42 25
- Do sports bars buy these? -- nm - Max Apr 30, 09:38 14
  - I have never in my life heard of this happening. -- nm - MDH Apr 30, 09:54 12
    - Can't tell if serious... -- nm - Shaun Apr 30, 09:59 11
      - I've seen it once or twice, but it's not that common and it's a substantial expense to the bar. - Will Hunting Apr 30, 10:04 7
        
        maybe it is just me, I used to go with a group to watch PPV at bars all the time. - Gjallergroin x 3 Apr 30, 10:06 5
        
        We did too. We were at the bar for the Undertaker/Mankind HITC ppv. People who didn't give a shit about WWE were actively watching. It was awesome. -- nm - Shaun Apr 30, 10:20 1
        
        Its still one of the most brutal matches in the history of the WWE -- nm - eag Apr 30, 10:23
        
        Oh, I'm not saying it doesn't happen, just likely not in the volume needed to make a significant dent in those numbers. - Will Hunting Apr 30, 10:13 1
        
        no clue, have not done it in years. I know they do the MMA events in several bars near me. - Gjallergroin x 3 Apr 30, 10:17
        
        we did it at university for the Rumble Yokozuna won -- nm - Beaker Apr 30, 10:07
        
        I think it used to happen alot more often, don't think it does nearly as much anymore -- nm - Beaker Apr 30, 10:05
      - his bars are a little different than ours..... -- nm - Gjallergroin x 3 Apr 30, 10:03 2

  - Becuase it's a monthly fee...you could see it for $10 and then cancel. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 30, 09:00 2
    - I am sure alot of those are bars who buy the PPV and charge people to see it. -- nm - Gjallergroin x 3 Apr 30, 09:02 1
      - I hope one day I see a bar that does this, I could use a good laugh -- nm - con_carne Apr 30, 10:07
