In most European countries you only get reserved seats at big multiplex cinemas, stuff like Cinestar, NOS and so on.

On the European Cinema network [0], reserved seats is a long gone concept.

So not always a given that seats can be reserved online for cinema, depends on ones location.

Here in Oslo, Norway I only know of the local cinematheque which doesn't do reserved seats. All commercial theaters have reserved seats, even for the small screens with just a dozen or so seats. Been so as long as I can remember, so several decades.

So yea, location dependent.

That's not true, I frequently reserve seats at the "Yorck" cinema chain in Berlin which is part of Europa Cinemas and has seat reservation.

I don't recall having been to any cinema in denmark ever that did not do assigned seats. They won't check if nobody complains, but is is printed on the ticket.
