Huh? Every cinema I've ever been to provides the 3d viewing glasses for free and collects them afterwards.
I've been to cinemas in several European countries and it varies between cinemas.
Looks like he is from Switzerland. Must be different there.
It depends; the cheaper ones have passive 3d glasses (polarisation filters), the cinema nearby then sells them for €1 apiece. I have two of them at home. The fancier cinema, brand new etc, has Dolby Atmos and active 3D glasses - they hand those out and collect them when you enter and leave the room. The ticket price of those is higher though (€15 ish).
Active 3D meaning they alternate flipping the lenses black? I think I'd throw up if I tried to sit through 2 hours of that.
It means that one eye is polarized one way and the other eye the opposite.
That's passive 3D
