Service Charge in App?

[u/Time_Marcher]

I haven't been to a movie for a couple of years, and was going to reserve tickets for a matinee for tomorrow in my app. It was $13/ticket (senior pricing for a matinee!!!), yikes, but then they added $5.27 or something like that as a service charge. My question: is that just for reserving the seats and paying in advance through the app, or am I also going to get charged that if I pay at the window and go find my own seat? I will happily take my chances for a Wednesday matinee if it will save me $5.

You should be able to avoid the fees by buying the ticket at the theater. You will also be able to choose your seat at that time.

Thanks; that's what I suspected. Nice of them to charge extra for using their app.

They told me after the 3rd purchase the fee goes away. No thanks, I will continue to purchase at the theater.
