What happens if you get caught sneaking into a film?

[Martinha]

Hi, today I tried to sneak into Bruno by paying to see transformers then leaving 40 minutes in to watch Bruno. This is what went wrong...

* I arrived when the lights were on and before it started
* There was only 2 other people in the cinema so you could spot me out easily.

I didn't get into any serious trouble becuase it is a small cinema in bridgenorth owned by Reel Cinemas which is a moderate but not a big chain. But I wanted to know what would happen If I was caught in one of the bigger chains such as Odeon or Cineworld?

And transformers SUCKED and was a load of tripe. I had to sit through it all to get my moneys worth.

Probably a prison sentence.

LOL

 

[Hoshi]

you would get shouted at by a spotty youth wearing a cap

Wouldn't it be easier to just buy the ticket for Bruno?
Tickets here are the same price for whatever film you go and see

I think the MPAA might come round to your house and beat you up.

Me thinks someone is under 18 years old.

2 people in a new release film on a saturday????

You get stoned to death in the car park with stale popcorn.

I caught some kiRAB trying to sneak into Bruno today and just walked them out the building and made sure they didn't come back, there isn't a lot that can be done really. Regular recognised offenders get banned but that's about it.

For the record, I don't wear a cap, I'm not spotty and I'm not a youth, I do like shouting though!

At the really big cinemas they don't notice unless you really stand out

What how old are you. I went to see Bruno with my 15 year old brother and the women at the ticket desk didn't look twice.

Gone are the glory days when you could stay and watch the film twice of you so wished.. came in handy if you were getting somewhere with the hot date you took

 

[lutts2011]

Why did you pay to see Transformers if you left only 40 mins into it anyway?!

 

[υεlυεt • ωσмαη]

It's easier at bigger cinemas. Done it a few times for a dare when I was younger.

Once you're past the ticket checks, you're alright.

You can check via the cinema website what's on in what screen too.

It's just too easy to sneak into Manchester Odeon's Imax on the way out

The law states that you could be fined up to

At a few of the 18 Certificate films I've seen at Cineworld, the staff come in and check before the film starts - if anyone looks under 18 they have to prove it, show a valid ticket or unceremoniously shown the door. I've seen this happen before the last Rambo film and the last Saw film.

 

[desm]

what happens? you feel slightly guilty for about 30 seconRAB but then quickly get over it?

 

[stumpy]

You get killed with baseball bats.

You're forced to watch The Spirit over and over on an endless loop.
