I work at a movie theater. I work the concessions but I've worked long enough to know a little something-something about ushering and cashiers. And a little bit of what managers do. Ask me anything!
Hmm. My theater doesn't have any scanners nor have I been to one that has them. I wouldn't know anything about it :/ I'm assuming the noise doesn't change
Share Answer: 
My theater isn't that dark that they need flashlights. But thhose guys are just checking things out. Making sure everything is ok. They shouldn't be there for long
Share Answer: 
It happens. Nothing that can really be done about it after they've seen it. Managers are not going to be chasing them down and ushers are not going to make a big deal about it. At the end of the movie, their main concern is cleaning the theater as they only have a few min to clean the whole thing. They probably don't even notice the teens coming out.

You are able to go in so long as you have a picture ID proving you're 17. Your friends, however, cannot go in unless someone OVER 18 is with them. Unfornately, you cannot be that "adult."

Do parents ever get angry at you personally if their kid isn't learning fast enough?
Nice try, teen.
1) Get a a parent to buy them a ticket
1b) Buy a ticket for another movie that's playing around the same time in the same vicinity.
2) Have the parent continue to walk with them (or by themselves if they bought it for a different movie), past the usher ripping the tickets.
3) Go into the restricted theater.
Sounds simple? You're suppose to have a parent be with you at all times. If there isn't one present, They wont sell you the ticket, you wont get past the usher, and if they see you in a theater without an adult, they'll ask and will kick you out if you don't have one.
But please, don't get mad if you're caught. It wont help your situation and we might get security if you're being difficult.

Unless you have an adult with you, you will be denied entry every time.

Ticket prices are a agreed upon by the movie companies that make and distribute the movies, independent of the theaters. People have other ways to watch a movie without spending their paycheck so they come less often. I havent worked long enough to see a significant change yet, as the price doesn't increase as fast as the snacks do. 10 years is a long time. Plenty of time for customers to acclimate to the change in ticket prices.
That doesn't stop some customers to tell me about the good 'ol days...
In the end, I havent seen a difference in sales.
