An agreed statement of facts shows Cineplex made more than $11.6 million in the six months after the fees were implemented in mid-2022 and another $27.3 million on fees in 2023.

I’m curious if the online fees are actually used for improving the online experience. The few times I used cineplex, it felt they try to put effort into the website, considering they have subscriptions, seat selection, dynamic ticket search (based on time and seat availability).
I doubt they put in over $40 million worth of effort.
It’s not. The fee was added to encourage people to join in with the Cineclub thing. The back end for seat selection existed before the online reservation fee did as far as I can recall.
How much more than the ui on the machines in the theatre?
Their online ticket buying is atrocious.
From last night, on a PC using Firefox:
Never have I had to disable Firefox’s onboard blocking to simply pay for something with a credit card online, I’m highly suspicious of Cineplex’s back end and the second any weird activity happens on that credit card, or email address, I’m going after them.
They should be legally forced to use an existing well-regarded payment vendor, because whatever is going on now, they’re doing something either very incompetent, or very fishy.
