The price of a cinema ticket in this day and age. No wonder people aren't going to the cinema anymore.

Nothing for the customer. It's just convenient for the theater to charge more for the ticket.

Nothing, it's just an extra charge so that the company can make more money.

Answer from another: nothing. We also have them in various places, like parking, or highway vignettes - you are not using their facilities, you save them money, so they charge you some extra

In the early days of the internet in the US the convenience fee was what the 3rd part sales software charged for online transactions but I think now with the it mostly being first party sales or integrated to the vendors POS it's just a way to charge more money without advertising it on the sticker price.

See, if you didn't pay that fee, then buying the tickets would be "inconvenient."

Jokes aside, it's really just a way to pad profits. It should be called the "We want more of your money" fee.
