      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

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

      “Hey, we saved money by computerization, so we’re gonna pass that cost onto you!”

      “Don’t you mean ‘pass the savings onto us?’”

      :D “Nope!”

        Honestly they probably spend so much on devs to maintain their website that they don’t break even lmao

          The amount you’d save not hiring physical ticket sales workers would absolutely dwarf any amount of possible dev salaries for one website.
