I usually don't reply much on here but I thought I had to reply to this since I work at the theater and want to clear up this situation.
I understand patrons get frustrated when it comes to buying tickets to "R" rated movies. Being asked for ID and who they are buying tickets for and Etc. If you only realized how many under age kids try and sneak in every week and how many calls and complaints are received from angry parents because their child was let in a "R" rated movie. Kids come up and buy tickets to Disney movies or some other movie they know they can buy for and then sneak in the bad movies. The theater has a responsibility to try and stop this as much as it can. its not that tickets are being "denied" Its just trying to be responsible and make it as family oriented as possible. So I ask, please be patient and understand where management is coming from. If you aren't satisfied please come in a talk to a manager and explain the situation.
