| - I usually like AMC, I do. But it seems that everytime we go here, there is a problem.
For example, the other night, we wanted to see Date Night. Both MoviePhone.com and Fandango.com had shows at 8:45 and 9:40. When we showed up, having missed the 8:45, we wanted to go to the 9:40 show. No one was up front selling tickets, so we had to buy it through the machine. It said it was currently 8:51, and that the only show that night was 8:45. So we figured with previews we'd be fine, bought the tickets...which then came out of the machine completely smeared and unreadable.
Upon entering the theatre, we realize it was way into the movie, so we check out cell phones. It was actually 9:25 -- the machine's clock was off. We went back to guest services to get a refund, and were told there was no 9:45. Then I saw his sheet of paper, and pointed out to him that it SAID 9:45 was the next showing. After a moment of "oh, well, I just didn't see that...and the machine is broken" we asked if we could just go see the 9:45, and were let in.
For the outrageous prices for both tickets and food (and the machine sure doesn't help OR give any student discounts), I'm really underwhelmed. We'll probably look at another theatre.
