3D tickets
So I have this craaazy idea that for those of us with the foresight to have our own and or save 3D glasses, the surcharge of 3 dollars per ticket should be waved for future ticket purchases. If the argument is that the cost of the glasses is why we should pay that much money, then it should be waved for people who bring their own. Right? It’s environmentally friendly, fiscally responsible, and in general a lot more sanitary. If you’re really dying to make some extra dough, I can only imagine there would be a ton of people not willing to bring their own glasses, so you can still make money off of those fools.
I fully believe in the ability of 3D to actually bring something of substance to the cinema experience. I know it’s a little hard to believe given the content available, but the only way we will get to the real gems of 3D production is if the industry catches up with the complaints of the viewing public. Otherwise the public will rebel and 3D will die once again…
There is some hope on the technological future involving auto stereoscopic (glasses-less 3D) theatre designs, but who knows when that will actually be implemented on a full market scale. In the meantime, figure it out guys. Feel free to take my idea and make it your own. I will not begrudge you the theft. I am sure I’m not the first to think of it anyway.
