Gold class is well worth the money if you’ve never been. As there are so few seats in the room and it being more expensive, it weeds out people that may disrupt your viewing experience. The seats are very comfy too. It’s like having a real home cinema screen. But it’s easy to get carried away and spend money though with a “press this button on your table for food or drinks” being available on demand.

But yeah, the people staffing at the Crown one are polite stereotypical minimum wage idgaf people, which is probably the same experience I assume at the Hoyts you’ve been to.

So to original replier: if you’re short on cash just don’t be a knob and no one will care. Maybe buy a drink / soda!?

Edit: typo

Edit 2: I’ve been there in gold class when people have brought in takeaway food before. No shits given.
