New Poll: Front of House Bells
Fri, 17 June 2005, 11:30 pmThe convention is for most shows to start at 8pm.
Is this convenient? Would earlier or later be more suitable?

Poll Result: Front of House Bells
Tue, 23 Aug 2005, 05:58 pmMost theatres start at 8.00pm yet many people would not consider going to the cinema after the 6.30 - 7.00 show. Should the shows start earlier?
550 participants in two months
leave it at 8.00 pm 246 44%
curtain up at 7.30 175 31%
curtain up at 7.00 51 9%
even earlier 43 7%
even later 26 4%
curtain up at 8.30pm 10 1%
Pretty big case for keeping the status quo, although some would like to start slightly earlier.
I personally find it tricky to get to early shows, and sometimes even 8pm is a pain if I've been out all day. I usually can't be bothered going all the way home to get cleaned up, fed, and turn around to go out again for an 8pm show. If I can get a takeaway snack, turn up in whatever I'm wearing, and get dinner afterwards, I'm more likely to make it as a solo attendee, but if it's a date or I'm having a meal with friends I'm much more likely to go to a later movie. (I virtually never attend a 6pm session of anything, and prefer 9pm or later...but obviously I'm a minority)
