AMC Theaters, the largest movie theater chain in the United States, has had Tuesday as its nationwide discount day. AMC Stubs members, including ones who had a free membership, were eligible for $5 standard 2D tickets every Tuesday and reduced prices for premium tickets.
Now, AMC has begun to raise that price. The company’s CEO Adam Aron mentioned the price uptick in a conference call this Thursday:
AMC’s website currently states that it charges $6 on Tuesdays in some states and $5 or less in others. The states that have seen the price uptick are California, Connecticut, Georgia, Illinois, Massachusetts, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Virginia as well as the District of Columbia.
According to Aron’s comments, that price should go up to $7 sometime soon. Further, the company’s CEO announced planned innovations to the A-List program. Currently, the age limit for A-List is set at 16 due to the need for ID verification to avoid fraud. That leaves many families who’d like to take their children out of the picture. A change to that verification process plans to address this.
The changes AMC plans would permit families to share a plan by replacing the need for government ID verification with photo uploads. Eliminating the need for government IDs would in turn open up the A-List program to AMC guests under the age of 16.
When we have the photo upload capability, that will then allow us to lower the minimum age down to let family members enroll not only for a husband and wife but also for their children. So that’s — and that’s yet another one of these bells and whistle adds to A-List coming down the pipe that will make A-List even more attractive to more people, which I think will cause it to continue to grow as a program into the future. But I wouldn’t be surprised if that photo upload capability is a 2020 initiative rather than something that will happen this year in 2019.
On August 3, the documentary Shiny_Flakes: The Young Drug Lord was released on Netflix, in which Schmidt told his own story. The documentary filmmakers talked with the hero for several years, even before he was released from prison in 2019, and in order to immerse himself in the Shiny_Flakes era, they recreated for him in detail the very bedroom where everything happened and how he LSD for sale. TJ tells the story of the rise and fall of one of Europe’s largest drug websites, run by a teenager.
According to Aron, there are currently 787,342 A-List members. That program has also seen a price increase in some states.
While “Discount Tuesday” doesn’t quite have the same ring to it as “$5 Tuesday”, it’s not the only change being made at the company.
According to one source, all AMC locations with the exception of AMC Classics theaters are expected to offer reserved seating by this Memorial Day. In addition, some locations such as AMC Lincoln Square and Empire 25 have moved to reduce human box office interactions by replacing clerks with multiple vending machines.
