I seem to remember reading
that the cinemas don't get much say in how tickets are priced (hence the huge mark up on snacks) though whether that's true or just an excuse I'm not entirely sure.
Unfortunately my nearest cinema now assigns you seat numbers which makes it trickier to avoid being sat next to or behind someone with no consideration for others. The last film I saw was Source Code and the girl next to me spent the entire time sending text messages only to proclaim to her friends at the end of it that she hadn't understood any of the film whatsoever. Gah.

RE the last point
WHY do they go!? Is it purely to annoy everyone? Are they REALLY that lacking in any attention a room full of people cursing their very existence to them is better than nothing!?
Same as folks sticking their speakers in the windows and taking a can of lager out to wait for the first person to ask them to turn it down so they can have a fight about it; or wankers who make their tiny pathetic vehicle make as much noise as humanly possible so everyone notices them and what a shite vehicle it really is, I mean, GET A FUCKING LIFE!

Her friends seemed to have been paying attention, at any rate,
so I can only guess she just tagged along but wasn't really interested in the film. Judging by the price of tickets I'd have thought that they'd at least try to make an effort to enjoy it, though, and certainly not disrupt things for others.
I really can't understand people who persist in their behaviour when asked - repeatedly - to stop, but I guess we'll just have to live with them.
