Making your way up the steps and through the doorway of the main entrance, you are greeted on your left by the cashier at the pay box window, along with the clanking noise of the old style mechanical ticket machine as your tickets appear like magic on the counter.

Upon purchasing your admission ticket whilst cracking the joke “Two tickets for the balcony please”. Its then time to head for the sweets popcorn and ices kiosk. Before you have the chance to yell “HOW MUCH !” The cashier does a quick twirl and low and behold they miraculously change into the kiosk attendant
With two coke cups in hand, a packet of Paynes Poppets under chin and a large bucket of popcorn balanced on ones head, Its now time to head towards the church like auditorium doors, whilst praying nobody on the inside opens the door in your face as you approach it.
