You're getting scammed. I've never had to pay for a pair, even at the cheap theatre. Are these private theatres, or big chains?
AMC-so a big screened big chain. They're the plastic rimmed things, so it didn't feel like too much of a burn for a one time cost. Less than cheap sunglasses-albeit, not as useful.
This. I don't get why someone would feel compelled to buy a new pair of glasses every time they saw a 3D movie.
Where is everybody getting that the glasses are a seperate purchase? If I recall correctly, it was included in the ticket price the last time I went to a 3D movie.
