Are you paying too much to see a movie where you live? How much are the ticket prices? Lets all compare.

It depends. During the day (IE: matinee), it's around $4 or so (a little more) at the cheaper theatre, and more like $5 at the larger theatre. At night, it's around $7.50 or so, I think...I'm not sure. I'm okay with it. It's still worthwhile -- especially considering I go to a matinee showing of the movie half the time.

It depends on the theater here and the time of day. If I want to forgo the stadium seating, I can see a matinee for $2 or pay $4 for the night showings. At the stadium seating places, the matinees run around $4.25 or so with the regular prices being $6.25 to $6.75.
I usually go to the matinees myself. It's rare I pay full price. |
I think its about 5 bucks for a matinee and 7.50 for an evening showing. My friends all freak out about the extra two bucks and always want to see matinee but then end up spending 5 bucks on concessions. I dont really care. Obviously the high prices aren't stopping anybody from going so no they're not too high. It's a matter of supply and demand. People will pay ten bucks to see a movie so they should charge ten bucks. If that doesn't work, charge less. In my hometown there is a new theatre being built and everybody is angry for some reason but competition brings down prices, it's a basic economic principle, so hurrah! Excuse these ramblings.

You're basically paying the same price you would if you went to a matinee if you go to a night show. Once you figure in drinks popcorn, anything that will stick to the roof of your mouth, you're lookin at an easy $10. Ticket in is like 5 somethin here, I think. So that's roughly $15 give or take a dollar or two. Night shows are about 6.25 here, I got it made, for now if you're taking two people it's $13 which barely leaves room for a drink so if you get a drink and split it you're lookin at the same price either way.
If it's expensive the sound/picture better be worth it. |

I pay $5.75 normally, then $8.50 at night.
|
I pay about NZ$8.50 (Student price) which converts to about US$3.50.
What's this about it being cheaping in the daytime? That's cheap man. |
Here it's $3.75 (the early bird = first show of each movie) , $5.oo for each matinee and $7.25 for the evening.

Where I live its too expensive. It's 8.75 for a ticket arter 6pm!
|
I think prices here are around $12. Eek. No wonder I rarely go to the theater.
|
Here in the UK where I live the local multiplex does a great offer.
Normally its £4.60 ($7) before 8pm or £3.60 ($5) after 8pm. I think they do a 2.95 ($4) deal for before 11am as well. However they also do a deal where you pay £9.99 ($14) a month by direct debit and you can go see any movie whenever you want! You have to sign up for a minimum of 12 months so £120 ($170). Ive had mine six months and have already seen well over a years worth of movies (About 40) so everything i go see until next August will be for free! Also as an added bonus you can go to any of their chain in the country and still use your card. I dont think they accounted for people like me who go twice or more a week! |
Here, the prices are standard.
I pay $6.50 as a child, which I can pass as as long as the movie isn't R16, which means you have to be at least student. Student is $10.00 Adult, I wouldn't know. B&W, whereabouts in NZ are you? |
Here in good ol' Grass Valley, Ca. We pay 3.50 for a day show and 6-7$ at night.
I think I've mentioned before, my sister's boyfriend works as a manager at one of our town's larger theaters. I don't ever have to pay...but I do buy some drinks and popcorn. That's where your theater's revenue comes from. They don't make a red cent off of ticket sales.:nope: |
It's about $7 or $8 in Columbus, Ohio. About $4-$6 during the day.
