I think the "convenience fee" of online purchases is about the fact that if you want to buy a ticket days before showtime, you don't have to get a physical ticket at the box office in person.
Not necessarily that I agree with it though -- in many parts of the world you have no such fees when you buy a movie ticket online.
- conductr 2y agoI'd categorize that under my "2) not have to show up early 3) peace of mind knowing your spot is reserved" points. I don't necessarily agree with them either. It seems mutually beneficial to the venue to allow me to buy tickets digitally. It made sense maybe 20-25 years ago when the move online was a significant update to the then status quo. Now, it's just a revenue stream they don't want to give up that consumers see as the status quo, so why remove it? (from their perspective)
