No AMC theaters here - and I rarely go to the theater, mostly utilizing matinee showings for the lower price. In spite of that, such a move with the chain here (Malco) would cause me to rethink any showing, whether or not it was subject to such pricing manipulations.
It'd serve them right if *no one* purchased those inflated price seats and just took them over once the feature starts. I doubt that'd happen though as most people would likely never even notice. And just *what* logic makes, for example, seat 5 in from the isle worth more than seat 4? In my world, the seats in row 4 or 5 (and maybe row 6 depending) - dead center - are the "sweet spot" seats. That's, at most, a dozen seats. And that's only for those few times some loud moron doesn't sit close by - which seems to happen more often than not.
