I do not usually queue at the till
since that will tempt me to spend
more on snacks as the line snakes
through different shelves of chocolate,
candies, crisps/chips and the like.
I just go directly to the touch screen
computer terminals.

1. Access the terminal, have your debit/credit card ready. You should have preferably done your assignment and checked for the schedule of your chosen film online.

2. Select purchase ticket, choose your film.

3. Select how many tickets you are purchasing (Adults, kids, seniors)

4. Select your seat, there are premium seats as well.

5. Review your selection and pay for it.

6. Wait for your ticket and receipt to be printed.

7. Present your ticket to the usher, they will tear the ticket halfway and return it to you. Take note of seat number. Keep ticket till you have watched the film. Conflicts may arise from seating arrangements as some people just sit anywhere.

8. The alphabet seat number will be the row, so as you go up the stairs, look for the small blue lighted letters.

9. The number represents your seat number, you will see them shown on the handles of the seat.

10. Etiquette dictates that you turn your mobile phones off and nobody ever talks aloud during the film. Some cinemas play film scores while waiting so you could probably make a game out of it by guessing which film the musical score belongs too.

11. Unlike in Philippine cinemas, they do not play the national anthem
before the first film showing. The trailers prior to the film can be as long as 20 minutes though.

12. There are built in drink holders on the handles of the seats.

13. Bring your trash out with you. Trash bins are conveniently located just outside the doors.

14. Use the toilet before and after the film. It is free. Do not waste your time going to the loo in the middle of the film when you could have gone before.
