Adam,
Having a person checking for ID's at the door is fine and dandy, assuming the fact that you have the overhead leeway to add to your payroll. What happens when you're on shift with a minimum staff and kids or adults alike, are buying tickets for incorrect ratings or incorrect times?
The only kiosk that warrants a lobby location is at ATM machine if you ask me. Or, perhaps, a kiosk staffed by experienced personnel giving showtimes, film information, answering phones, etc... Again, it comes down to the additional payroll expense. The 'information central' type kiosk proves more of a benefit IMO. If normally manned by a member of management, patrons will always know where to find a manager shoudl the need arise.
Then again, YMMV...

I have a friend whose name will go unmentioned, that uses the ticket Kiosk at the Sony Metreon in San Francisco. He always get the senior priced ticket even though he is 39-years-old. He has never been called on it by a ticket taker. If I were a ticket taker, I wouldn't care either.
My grandmother in NYC, for years refused the senior discount on the city bus because she thought it was rude to ask for a discount while wearing a 60-year-old, second hand, Mink Coat. Finally, about the time she was 80, the bus drivers told her, "Look lady, you're a senior, get over it!"
