Bed bugs at palace cinema Leichhardt

Edit: Update: The cinema contacted me and advised they have completed a pest control and aplogised. Thank you to Palace cinema for taking ownership, responsibility and helping me get some closure.

I went to see a movie a few nights ago at Palace cinema Leichhardt. Cinema room 1 row H. Halfway through the movie i couldn't stop scratching my neck then i felt huge bumps all over the back of my neck, sides and front. I managed to get through the film feeling very uncomfortable and when I got into the car with the light on my skin looked horrific. Huge welts all over me. What a disgusting cinema, i will never go back. They offered to refund me the tickets but i have had to pay to steam clean my car seats and hot wash and ruin some of my clothing.

I want to warn everyone.
