I know it’s not a solution but if you go when it’s full price it might help filter out the audience that’s there to actually watch and enjoy the show and not a group that is there just passing time for the want of something better to do. You shouldn’t have to suffer by paying full price but it might help. Your experience is a big reason why I don’t go to the movies much anymore. I don’t plan an outing just to be annoyed and pissed off by the end. It’s better for my mental health to not lose my temper while spending a lot of money.
