It runs on a schedule and you have to watch the films and previews on their schedule, right? Not exactly. Let’s look at some of the time-saving options you have available.FIRST, check your local theaters to see if they have kiosks near the ticket-window. If they do, you can save a little time by ordering your tickets online and picking them up at a kiosk. As a fallback, if the kiosks are down or crowded you can also pick up your tickets at the window. Go to whichever line is shortest and moving fastes.Note that you may lose out on some discounts by ordering tickets online, so only do this when you are sure the theater will be very crowded and busy.SECOND, if there are two or more of you, have one or two people go grab the seats and have one or two people stand in line for the concession stand. This sounds like such an obvious tip, but you’ll often see whole families and dating couples head right to the concession stand together.THIRD, look for a second concession stand near the back of the cinema. Larger cinemas may operate multiple concession stands and you often walk right past a less busy concession stand after standing in line for 10 minutes. If you know there is another concession stand, check to see if it’s open and less busy before you get into the main concession line.FOURTH, as more movies post teaser scenes at the end of the credits, you can use the time between the last scene of the movie and the end-credit scene to make a quick run to the restroom, especially if people are waiting around for a teaser scene. Just be sure you keep your ticket stub with you so you can get back into the theater on a busy night.FIFTH, have whomever holds the seats make a note of which previews were shown before the movie. That way if someone misses one you can look for it online when you get home. Although watching previews is a fun part of the cinema experience, the Internet has now made it possible to catch up on previews. Unfortunately, you won’t find many reliable sources for end-credit scenes.SIXTH, grab your seats first and then send someone to the concession stand during the pre-show show. This way you may give a short line time to empty out when there are not a lot of people at the theater.SEVENTH, look for the smaller, secondary restrooms near the side exits. These restrooms are usually not as busy as the main restrooms near the cinema lobby.Although you may feel like there isn’t much opportunity for saving time when you are at the movie theater, the reality is that we seldom organize our time very well while we are there. Hence, just thinking ahead a little bit can make your movie experience a little less stressful and therefore more enjoyable.Did you like this article?
