The thought is, is it stealing if someone buys a ticket for a film, sits all the way through and then makes up something to complain about after the movie finishes just to get a refund? |

Cinema chains steal from us every time we go there. 7 quid for a hot dog and a pop, or 4 quid for 2 scoops of b&j icecream when you can buy a whole tub for that!
Go for it but you could probably only do it once.
The one and only time I got up from a film and asked for a refund was when I went to watch Sweeny Todd and didn't know it was a musical! We sat through like 10 minutes and they didn't stop singing, thought fuck this and went to the desk and watched alien vs predator instead. |

"In a way because its obtaining goods or services dishonestly.
Not if it's the new Thor film 
That was genuinely disappointing and I wish I could of got my money back tbh "
Genuine disappointment would be an honest reason though.
I'm not sure if cinemas accept "I thought the film was crap" as a reason to give a refund, it's worth a try I suppose.
I once ordered rhum baba because I wanted to try it. I hated it and left it all apart from one mouthful. The restaurant insisted on refunding us for it and for our drinks despite me telling them it was just a case of it not being to my taste rather than a quality problem. |

Yeah that is a good way of putting it. I think it would also be stealing if someone bought food at a cinema, asked for a refund after not liking the food and then taking food anyway |

No they don't, they may be considered to over charge for the items mentioned but you agree to but them, ergo no stealing involved.  |

What would the complaint be just out of interest? |

You wouldn't steal a hand bag...,,,you wouldn't steal a car.......etc.
They could ask for it back? No. I don't think it is steeling. But I could be wrong. |

Let's say if someone was talking throughout the film and the customer didn't complain to the staff about until after the movie finishes |

I went to see Star Wars a few years back was over Xmas the screen was pretty busy for a late evening showing. Tho a young couple thought it was a good idea to bring their new born child to the cinema.....
Baby kept on crying before eventually the mother left. |

I used to love going to the cinema but it’s such a drag these days. Why can’t people be quiet? And there isn’t anyone sat in there that’s important enough to need to check their phone during the film.
It would be dishonest to make something up to get a refund. |

What are the terms and conditions of the ticket?
I’m off to watch the rugby on Saturday and it clearly says that if you have any issues watching the game then you need to tell a steward at the time and not wait until afterwards |

I'm sure it is the same at any cinema that any ticket can be refund during a film screening and not after.
With me working in a cinema, it has been a long while since a customer came out to complain about someone making a noise in a screen during a film. Now it seems customers are coming out to complain after the film has finished more and more. I'm sure their excuse to not tell someone during a film is because they don't want to miss any of the film.
I fear this becoming a new type of scam |

I'm a massive proponent for independent cinema, my current favourite is FACT Liverpool. I try to contribute as much as possible, if I'm having a coffee in the centre will always use their cafe as for me every penny counts. So I would be disgusted over someone cheating them or any other independent. But the major chains .....go ahead  |
