Off Topic: Allocated Seating at Marion Megaplex
Lachie, a subject was raised for debate and a debate resulted. Debating this topic in no way suggests that people are not promoting happiness and joy in the festive season. Merry Christmas to you.

One other point, the cost of tickets to the movie are the same wherever you sit, therefore no need to have allocated seats to separate the cheaper seats from the more expensive ones.

I don't think its necessary as most sessions are no where near capacity and therefore lots of room for people to sit wherever. I don't agree that you should be there really early because people may be busy and have other things they want to squeeze into their time. Stop to think about how much time out of lives are wasted in just waiting around for things, ie, the movies, the bus stop, the restaurant, the bank, the telephone, shop service, petrol bowser on cheap days, etc, the list is endless. The time of your life belongs to you and you have the right to limit the amount of time wasted. In this world of cost cutting, the service is declining and waiting queues are increasing.

Melb - you can choose your seat when booking. Surely its the same in adel?
As for sitting next to a stranger that is exactly why the changed to allocated, if it is going to be a packed out movie than they dont want every couple/group to have one empty seat in between them and the next couple/group, thus once the place is full of groups with their one empty seat between each other the groups coming in next end up splitting up and being near strangers anyway.
