[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's been first come first served, open seating for somthing like 50 or 60 years, so along come the millennials who cant be bothered to get to the theater 10 or 15 minutes early and cant do anything without a smartphone.

Now when we buy our tickets we are put on the spot, pick a set of seats, and when you get in and find theres like 40 or 50 people there all clustered assholes to elbows you cant scope the theater and say "hey id like to sit here because i dont want a group of chatty kathies or annoying teenagers one or two rows behind me.

You used to be able to politely pick your seats based on a quick scan of the people in the theater you would not like to sit next to or around, now that has been taken away.

Some people think that people who dont like reserved seating are acting like like theyre intitled, however the system is only recently being changed for people who cant bother to get to the theater 10 or 15 minutes early, and would rather roll in during the previews disturbing others.[/quote]

I'm not sure why you keep stating that this system only benefits millennials (I'm not one).  I never buy anything using my smartphone, only my computer.

One could make the argument that the rude people are those who would roll in during the previews, disturbing others [i]while they loudly try to figure out where they're going to sit, and ask people to move over or trade seats.[/i]  Talk about entitled.  At least with reserved seating, even the rude latecomers (I like previews too) have nowhere to go except straight to their reserved seats.

If I wind up sitting close to a talker or a kicker, etc., I'll tell them politely to stop.  That usually works just fine.  If it didn't, I'd go get a manager/usher and let them take care of it.  I love reserved seating because I can pick out exactly where I want to sit in the theater and know I don't have to show up 45 min. early just to wait to get in and claim my spot.  I can linger at dinner with my husband, knowing exactly what time we need to get to the theater in order to buy snacks and sit down comfortably to enjoy the previews.  Totally takes the pressure off and makes movie going enjoyable again. [/quote]
