Poll: Free Movie Tickets?

[BBQ°]

Hi all, I'm trying to collect data for an idea of mine.

If you received free movie tickets, would you buy any snacks?

If yes, how much money would you be willing to spend on snacks?

Do you normally buy snacks when you go to the movie theater?

 

[Nihongo-ookami]

I would definitely buy snacks. It's blasphemy not to buy snacks at a movie.

I'd spend maybe $5-$10 bucks

thanks for responding

i work at a theatre and watch **** for "free" occasionally

i never buy food there

it's all over-priced and ****ty

i'd much rather just eat before or after

 

[BBQ°]

G MONEYYYY

well if you didn't work at the movie theater how would your answers differ?

 

[Sandtru27]

lol how's life bro?

and my answer prolly wouldn't differ (unless i was with a chick)

 

[BBQ°]

lol aight that's cool.

life's been good. Just trying to get this idea to work >.>

thanks for your input though

[Pritch]

No.

$0.

No.

Just because I got one thing for free doesn't make me more inclined to waste money elsewhere. Movie snacks are pretty high up there on the list of dumb ways to spend money.

 

[BBQ°]

I agree with you pritch.... but a lot of people so far have told me that if they didn't have to buy a movie ticket then they would have extra money to buy something for like $5. But yeah man thanks for your input.

I would never purchase snacks/drinks from a movie theatre. Simply because you got a good deal on one thing doesn't mean you should get obnoxiously ripped off on something else. I understand the mindset; a lot of people I know (including myself) go into a store and justify a certain item's price by comparing it to other things similarly priced (why else do people buy Starbucks coffee?). Once you get past that, the idea of spending $3.50 on a small drink is just absolutely ludicrous when you can just go to a gas station nearby and buy a drink twice the size for $0.50. Granted, you probably can't bring it in, but that's where the Real Life scenario kicks in:

Bring a girl with you to every movie. Or have big pockets. If girls are good for anything, it's their purses and smuggling in goods to the theatre.

there's a CVS next to my theater...

if i buy anything from the theater i always get large

it's the closest thing to an actual fair deal

I have a messenger bag. WAY better than a purse.

And I pretty much wouldn't buy snacks unless it was a requirement for the free tickets. I won't pay for food that isn't good.

 

[BBQ°]

alright guys thanks for your responses

 

[Gaming King]

No problem. Now bear in mind if there was a theater that wanted to offer this hypothetical service to me, I'm sure me and most others would throw them a bone. *winks at any movie theater owners who might be looking and gives my big, cute, innocent, lovable grin* ;D

Movie companies already do this. It's called those free advanced screenings. First come/first serve to get in, and so you're stuck in line for two hours. In doing so, that's probably going to be five hours at the movies. Your resolve to not buy anything drops, since the water fountains are all typically hid in the back of the theater. They make bank during those events.

 

[OmniOstrich]

I only ever sneak in snacks lol

i once brought an entire cookout tray in using various pockets.

 

[mr.fizwidget]

i doubt it

 

[Sandtru27]

yo **** any of you guys that sneak food in and then don't clean up after yourselves (but if you're cool and don't leave a mess then you're not an *******)

and **** any of you guys that think we don't know you're sneaking **** in; i stop mother****ers all the time for being ***s and thinking they're gonna show me what's for

i also ID ****** *** highschoolers who think they're gonna show their little "gf's" that they're men for trying to get into rated R movies

 

[QDVS]

My GF and I have snuck in Cream Soda and Buck Doubles before >_> All hail the wonder of female purses lol

 

[dashdancedan]

People who would go to a movie for free are less likely to buy snacks because those type of people are just less likely to spend money in general.

 

[BBQ°]

That makes sense Dan.... but one reason I have this poll is to see if that is true. So far most people said they will buy snacks if they got in for free.

 

[BBQ°]

Yo guys. any more responses?

 

[yummynbeefy]

Most movie theature snacks are a total rip off so i generally dont buy em i go to like a gas station or something get some candy and bring it in with me if i want snacks

 

[BBQ°]

yeah a lot of my friends do that lol
