Movie Magic

Over the weekend, I went to see 'Alice in Wonderland' in 3D at the Loew's theatre in Cherry Hill. I went with my sister, my mom and her friend, and two of my friends, and we all met up at the theatre for the midnight showing. My mom and I waited in line to purchase the tickets. My mom bought three tickets for the IMAX 3D showing and paid, using a coupon she had from our Entertainment book (btw, I love this thing--saves us SO much money!). As she finished paying, I realized something...

We had only bought three tickets.

I, my mom, my sister, and my best friend all needed tickets.

Three tickets. Four people.

And a 20-minute line behind us...

I told my mom she had forgotten a ticket, which of course got her very flustered (she's not used to going out with four people). She asked the guy at the counter if she could quick buy another ticket, which he agreed to. As she's going to pay, she suddenly blurts out,

"Oh, but now I used my coupon already!"

I'm not sure how many people know this (I would assume quite a few since it was on the news), but they just raised the prices of 3D movies by about $4, I believe. The coupon was for $4 off. So, it makes a difference.

Now would you believe it, the guy behind the counter grinned and punched in the code for the coupon again. "Don't tell anyone." He said, winking as he run up the ticket with the coupon price. It definitely made my night. That, and the amazing movie. :)

I love the Loew's theatre. Definitely going back to see another 3D movie.
