[QUOTE="JediMichael, post: 5260873, member: 97718"] Yeah, my most faded ones are with that receipt paper type stuff. Its probably a lot cheaper for the theater, but no good for us collectors. Of all those years ripping the tickets and keeping the one side, as an usher we had 2 hour blocks per area. When movies were all playing, I would draw a lot while standing, and had managers always yelling at me, but the 6pm - 8pm time could get pretty hectic. For busy times, we split the ticket taking booth to two and each side of the lobby, so you were only ripping for 11 theaters, but if each screen were to sell out, that was still around 2500 seats. Food court was in the lobby, so if someone got their seat first, then would have to go out, get their snacks, and come back in with the ripped ticket in hand. Plenty people realized that when it was super busy, they could take an older ticket and flash it up and walk right in. You did start learning what groups would try this and attempt to stop them. It could be quite stressful at that time for only 5.15 an hour. I once was going so fast getting everyone in, I ripped this guys ticket in half by accident, not on the part that was suppose to rip. He looked like he had been shot by me. His girlfriend is like, he saves all this tickets...... I felt so bad, because I understood. [/QUOTE]
