Who checks cinema seats?

I’M sure no-one checks the tickets of those people who sit in the more expensive seats in the cinema.

How do they know who sits there?

There is a marked difference in price between a standard seat and a luxury one.

Yet, when you go to the cinema, the luxury seats are always full, but I have never seen anybody check tickets inside a screening at the cinema.

Haven’t you noticed also if you arrive late the last seats are always in the middle of a row and that you have to disturb half the audience to get the free spaces. People seem to like sitting on the end of rows.

Meanwhile, where are the blockbuster movies this Summer? Is it too early? When I was younger there used to be a handful of blockbusters every Summer. Massive films used to be released about this time, such as Jurassic Park.

The new Harry Potter sequel is out next month, but it would be good if there were some big original films released.

This week sees the US Open being staged from June 16-19 at the Congressional Country club at Bethesda, Maryland.

The last time the course held a major was in 1997, when Ernie Els took the tournament.

Defending the title this year will be Graeme McDowell who was the winner last year at Pebble Beach.

McDowell’s form has not been as good this year, and he missed the cut at Augusta and also shot an 81 at the Welsh Open.

Tiger Woods won’t be playing.
