Have you ever tried to sneak into a movie theater without paying first?

I used to have a friend that claimed he could always get into movie theaters without paying. I'm not sure how he did it. And, really, I wouldn't even want to know. I'm sure movies are expensive, but I'm not ready to get caught trying to sneak into a movie theater just to watch something that will be out on DVD in just a few months. Besides, it sounds like something a kid would do. Maybe if I'd been bold enough when I was a kid, I would have tried it. Or perhaps if we'd lived in a town with an outdoor movie theater then I could have gotten away with it. But, then I'm sure I would have felt guilty about it, the entire length of the movie. So, it would have been no fun at all. So, have you ever tried to sneak into a movie theater and been caught? Did you get away with it, because you were a kid?

I've never tried it. I actually don't get to movies that often anyways. I've never known anyone who has done it either. It probably would have been easy at our theater. They have doors directly from each theater that lead directly outside. So only one person would have had to pay then go down and let the others in.

Nope – never! I’ve never been daring enough- not to sneak into a movie theater and not pay. I have snuck into drive-ins.. Many times as a kid- That was fun and I never worried either- But again I was a child- I wouldn’t do it as an adult.

Most of our theatres here run full and they can make out who has occupied a seat unauthorisedly and they can catch the culprit. Thanks.

I don't have any idea about how i can or someone can go to the movie theatre without paying or buying ticket. I have never tried it also. If I have ever tried it i would have in a total scary time for all the movie as i was always scare of being caught by any of the staff there. I can't do it even if I am offered a big reward for this, not the kind of my thing
