Author Topic: "Little person" at the boxoffice Monte L Fullmer Film God Posts: 8367 From: Nampa, Idaho, USA Registered: Nov 2004 posted 04-13-2016 08:33 PM                     Sam: Try it with Fandango purchases - been a real hassle half of the time along with Kisok purchases. Now, on the Fandango site, it tells the customer to print out the ticket and take it to the doorman's post, where the doorman might have a scanner to catch the barcode, or just write the "A0" confirmation number down for later register entry. But, when an "R" rated film is purchased on Fandango, or even at the Kisok by underage minors, we ask for I.D., where some would say that their parent(s) bought the tickets and are not with them. We send them back to the boxoffice for a refund. -Monte  |  IP: Logged Buck Wilson Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 894 From: St. Joseph MO, USA Registered: Sep 2010 posted 04-14-2016 07:18 AM                     I've been genuinely amazed at how infrequently that happens. I can think of only a handful of times it's happened, and it's typically a 20-something year old with a senior ticket to an older movie... I just let it slide. I haven't ever had a real egregious abuse of it like a huge group to a big new release all equipped with child tickets requiring me to send them to box office.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 04-15-2016 12:24 PM                        I was just reading this thread again and happened to spot in my original post where I said I was "approaching 50 years in this business." I don't know if my memory is fading or I'm just bad at math, but I'm nowhere near 50 years yet. It was 37 years as of March 14 that I've been a theater owner, and it will be 41 years as of this September since I got my first projectionist job. Oh well I guess I am still "approaching 50 years," just not all that close yet.  |  IP: Logged Louis Bornwasser Film God Posts: 4441 From: prospect ky usa Registered: Mar 2005 posted 04-15-2016 02:00 PM                        Proud Senior: "Gimmee my discount!"
