I really enjoy visiting this theater. The staff is super friendly, and are quick to address concerns. Ticket prices are low for the area, as are the concessions. The “cry room” in the back of the facility is perfect for parents with small children. It’s an extra 30 miles for me to drive to(I live near Lufkin), and only has a single screen, but the Fain is worth visiting.
No excuse for over selling a theatre,It was a stupid thing to do and then blame the moviegoer,Do not blame you LUVSMOVIES.You were most likely dealing with rookies.
I lived in Livingston briefly in the early ‘50s and remember walking the five blocks to see “Callaway Went Thataway”. Visited briefly Oct. 3 after sixty years. Charming town, much better than I remember.
The sports and recreation generated by Lake Livingston has given it new life and well worth visiting if you’re in the area of east Texas.
Went there last night. They way over sold the tickets and left lots of people standing not only in the theater, but outside the theater not even being able to get in. It was horrible. To make matters worse the people running the theater accepted no fault of their own and treat us as if it were our fault that they sold more tickets than they had seats. The lady working the door was incredibly rude and unprofessional. We were very disappointed and will not be going back.

In 1970, the Fain was part of the Pam-Fain Theaters chain. Owner was Lloyd Stone. The other theater in the chain was the Pam in Madisonville, TX, hence the name.
Actually Livingston is kind of a neat little town.

Sometimes I feel like visiting these godforsaken places just to see their theaters.
