yeah $6-7 dollars for surge pricing is insane, that's basically the full price of a ticket.

 

oh i didn't know there was anything going on here besides the whole peak pricing thing haha

 

It's half the cost of a ticket here Haha

 

That $5 Million Loan is due next Wednesday...

 

Here the average is probably about $10. If you're not going after 5 on weekends, you can go for $5-8.

Only AMC charges $15 or more and that's for recliner seating or IMAX. If a ticket cost that much, I would never go to the movies. Might as well buy the movie then

 

$7.50-$8.50 matinee and like $13 for normal ticket here.

 

I have zero issue with the surge pricing thing. Mostly cause like...yeah...moviepass has to try and make money somehow hah

 

If the app had this rule in place from the beginning I feel like peopl would have less of an issue with it.

 

If the app had this rule in place for the beginning no one would have purchased it...

 

That's nonsense I dont believe that. $10 a month for unlimited movies, excluding new releases is a steal. You can see mi6 next week. I can see Jurassic park and purge and incredibles 2 this week

 

Yeah at $10 a month. With the surge pricing its significantly more and it loses its value. If surge pricing was only happening when a lot of people are at the theater, then its more understandable. But we're getting surge pricing and then there's nobody there. They've basically just raised their price and now people are weighing their options.

 

It's only more if you desperately want to see a movie opening week

 

surge pricing shouldn't be a thing at alll

 

Yeah if I had to pay the surcharge it would negate the entire reason for the service

 

But surge pricing isn't happening just opening week. That's the problem. I'm still getting Surge Pricing for Ant Man and thats been out for a while. Its obvious that its a money grab because they're bleeding. Hell, today they had an outage because they literally ran out of money. MP is on its dying days, and I don't think surge pricing was the answer they needed

 

Surge pricing is happening for each and every movie all day Thursday-Monday though. That’s a tough sell without a bait and switch.

 

In my theater incredibles, purge and Jurassic world... plus a few smaller movies are all available.

 

It depends on the type of movie goer you are for sure. If you're a blockbuster see asap person... which many people are... yeah it's annoying and maybe the service isn't worth it.

A ticket is roughly $15 so for me it's a no brainer still.

 

Right now for me

 

Ah I see. That definitely makes it less of an inconvenience. If it were that way everywhere then it wouldn’t be too bad but from what I’ve seen it’s basically a movie theater coupon book if you’re in a large city.

 

Here's a reddit thread on everything that's happening r/MoviePassClub - [RECAP] MoviePass - The Last 24 Hours

 

Lol what is that moderator going to do with himself once Moviepass goes under? Dude spends all day every day in that sub...

 

I was pleasantly surprised I was able to use MoviePass tonight, I saw Blindspotting. I really thought it would never work again. My big issue is I feel misled by peak pricing. I believed it would be for extremely crowded movies. Maybe the first two or three weekends for big feature films and thats it. What I have experienced is that every single movie but one or two has peak pricing except on Mondays and Tuesdays.

 

the problem is the CEO was a pompous asshole who was like this business model which doesn't make any sense and by nature hemorrhages money will be fine, and still won't admit that there any flaws in the system
if they had done some form of surge pricing or been like you can't see a blockbuster movie opening night or whatever from the get go people would be pissed but I think they might have understood

 

I agree. I see that they are not allowing users to see the new Mission Impossible movie at all. Blocking users from seeing blockbusters for a week or two is an option I could live with.
