I sit where I like by choosing the seat in advance. Online I get a map 
of the theatre and I click on the best seat, because two hours before 
the showtime there are seats to choose from.

If I arrive at the venue to buy the ticket I have to wait a lineup, and 
I'm given a random seat, more or less with my specs. Or I can go to a 
machine seller.


Oh, that was 6.70€ for a seat on the VIP row - cheaper than your senior 
price :-p

Wednesday is the cheap day here.

There was also a shoot them game for PCs in the 80's :-p
