We are 'premier' AMC members, which is worthwhile. You get a 'special' line which bypass the non-premier members, although you have to more/less self-administrate being noticed at the head of the premier line. Discounts are generous, and the perks are worth the small fee to join. We purchase tickets in advance online, which allows a nice seat selection. I don't know how well the combined concession / ticket line works for those who do not do so. I suspect for those who do not purchase concessions, the resultant wait time might be longer....but it beats standing in two different lines. All told, Traverse is lucky to have a theater like this....it has 'big city' amenities in what really is just a small town.

Not only was the movie so loud my ears were ringing when we left, the dialog was drowned out by the volume. The supposed imax experience was terrible video quality with the dark colors fuzzed out through the entire movie. If you like flying coach for 3 hrs on a plane you'll love the cramped seats and crappy food here too. One and done for me.

I finally came this summer, when they were playing Barbie. We purchased tickets earlier in the day and ate dinner next door to make sure we got good seats. That turned out to be unnecessary, but they did mention that some showings had sold out recently. I recommend getting tickets earlier rather than later! You can purchase tickets online or in person. I loved the ambiance in the theater - from the gorgeous velvet curtains to the stars in the ceiling designed by an astronomy professor. So much history has been maintained while adding modern comfort. The popcorn is also tasty and they carry local soda.

The stage and acoustics were a delight, too. Thank you for being this seasonally appropriate, Celtic band, for the week before St. Patrick's day.

The attendance was pretty decent- the band joked that there must not have been any good basketball games on. Lol. Good mix of jokes, stories, songs with and w/out lyrics. Haunting melodies and lively jigs etc. Plus, this band played in the gym today for the students at the school where I work, and they played a luncheon time concert at our local community college. Way to spread goodwill!!! :)

Good: Pepperoni pizza, giant pretzel, huge pickles, cotton candy, and regular candy options. Could be better: Slushies are WAY too sweet! Next time I'll ask for only one pump of the syrup. The bathrooms were clean. Yay! Overall, it was a fun night. Even though I spent too much on food and t-shirts, it was sweet to share the retro drive-in experience with our child.
