To all,
Try this very point with the movie theaters, They say "Matinee shows start
before 12 PM and there for are at reduced ticket price) Go the the theater for the
late night showing of Star Wars EP 1 (Through that in there to keep it on topic)
and ask for a matinee ticket price, when they refuse tell them that they has falts
advertising, They will give you the matinee price. It has worked for me several
times in the past.
