How much do you pay for a movie ticket? - Page 2 - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Shadowman · 05-17-2003, 08:25 PM

Here in Perth, we pay anything from $3 to $15. Cheap cinemas show movies that are about a month old for around the $3 to $7 mark. The mainstream cinemas (Hoyts, Greater Union, Reading) charge around $8-10 for a child, and $8 - 15 for an adult. It seems our movies work out to be cheaper than seeing them in the US.

TOO DAMN MUCH!!!

.. unless it's a movie I just have to see at a decent theater I try and save 5 bucks and go to the dollar theater whenever the movie makes it there. Unfortunatly that could be anywhere from a few weeks to a couple of months and once you've seen the two movies they offer for the month you're out of luck!

poipu2000 · 05-20-2003, 08:24 AM

$9.50 evening and $6.50 matinee

phredgreen · 05-20-2003, 07:25 PM

we almsot never go to the theatres that don't give the student discount... so i'm used to paying between 5 and 6 bucks for first-run movies. we also have these souvenier cups produced by the local chain here... buy it for 3.50 and get dollar refills all year. it works out alright.

TOOO FUCKING MUCH!!

Jadey · 05-21-2003, 09:14 PM

Prices here were just dropped .50 to 5.50 and 8.50. According to the newspaper they did a survey of other theatres in the immediate area (Peoria, Iowa City, Rockford) and they lowered prices to be more in line with prices in those cities.

snowace56 · 05-21-2003, 09:20 PM

$6.50 with a Student ID. $8.50 regular price.

Lebell · 05-22-2003, 02:38 AM

Matinee Student: $5.50, regular student $6.50.

I used to bitch about how I remembered movies for $3.00, but then my mother told me about movies for $0.10.

Ah well. Our children will look fondly back at these days as they are paying $20 for Fast and Furious 10.

ARRH · 06-03-2003, 06:35 AM

Here in NZ you pay about NZ$14, which is US$8.09. In Switzerland you pay CHF16.00, which is US$12.22. Quite expensive in CH! (but so is everything else!)

Doos · 06-03-2003, 11:06 PM

29 rand which is just under $4

mystmarimatt · 06-04-2003, 02:52 AM

a place near me is only 5 bucks now. they're indepent. Fuckin Regal took over and it all went to hell. all the Regal places are upwards of $8

Pyrate · 06-04-2003, 07:22 AM

£4.50 adult at my local (UK, London) Odeon, which is reduced to £3.50 all day Tuesdays...

As you may have guessed, my cinema trips revolve aroud a certain second day of the week...

Perfect for a bum like me.

warrrreagl · 01-04-2007, 08:20 AM

I just thought I'd update this thread. It's now $8 apiece for full-price tickets at our local Carmike.

MexicanOnABike · 01-04-2007, 08:59 AM

7.50$canadian at the Silvercity(Famous player)
6.50$canadian at the rainbow cinema downtown which has movies 1 or 2 weeks later.
it used to be 10$ at silvercity and 4.50$ at rainbowcinema which really made a big deal but now it's almost not worth going downtown.

RickB · 01-04-2007, 09:21 AM

$11.00 at the Century City AMC in Los Angeles.

Wilkerson · 01-04-2007, 01:55 PM

I pay $4.00 since the average ticket attendant is about 12 years old and views me as a senior citizen (Still more than a decade to go for that one to happen).

Halx · 01-04-2007, 02:19 PM

Its about $11 pretty much everywhere I go. New York, LA, SF...

amonkie · 01-04-2007, 02:42 PM

$7 for the independent theater here, pretty much the only place I go unless there's a captioned show at the main theater, $8.50 there.

Lady Sage · 01-04-2007, 05:04 PM

$4.50 matinee, $8.50 evening OR $1.00 at the discount theater.

Grasshopper Green · 01-04-2007, 05:25 PM

war, I hate Carmike with a passion.

We pay 5.25 for a matinee, and that seems to be the standard price regardless of what chain we go to. I don't even know the prices for evening shows because I refuse to pay more than matinee prices. Every once in awhile hubby and I will go to the dollar theater (which is actually 1.50).

mandy · 01-11-2007, 06:14 AM

we pay R14.00 here in south africa at the one cinema(ster Kinekor) and R28.00 at the other(Stars) but at ster on a tuesday, if you're a club member, you pay half price.

which is by far the most expensive of all...this sucks soooo bad

MPower · 01-11-2007, 11:01 AM

$8.00 at the drafthouse, 9.00 at a megaplex.
