How much do you pay for a movie ticket?
 
Where we live (deep South, USA), the evening shows are $6.50 and the matinees are $4.50.

Baastard!
here in hicksville, IN we pay $8.00 for eveining shows, the last showing of the night is usually $6.00.

When visiting a (now ex) girlfriend in NYC a few years ago Tickets for matinee were $10.00, kids were $8.00, eveing shows were $12.50. I imagine they have gone up since then. :(

i have paid anywhere from $.50 - $14.00 for a movie ticket depending on where i am

I recently paid £3.10 (about $4.90 according to XE.com) to see X-men 2 on the first day of release, in the evening

Thats with an NUS card.
Adult price, i think, is £4.50 ($6.15)

And thats gone up in the last year, used to be £2.50(ish) for students and £4.00 for adults

This is at a fairly new cinema in North-East England. A cinema run by the same company in Manchester was £3.50 for student, £5.00 for adults last year.
I imagine that in London its even more.

In Manahattan it's US$10.00... no matinee screenings. Always full price.

In Hicksville, Long Island (Yes that's a real place.. Ganguro.. you makin' fun of where I live?) it's also US$10.00 but there are matinees for the first 2 shows at US$6.00.

There used to be the US$3.00 theater in Manhattan.. played all second screening movies... that was cool. I don't think that they are around anymore.

ticket prices have nearly doubled in the past 12 years.

^dude 05-07-2003 07:38 AM

£5.50 for an adult ticket, which is around $8.

chodarama 05-07-2003 08:04 AM

anywhere from $6 to $9 depending on the theater

about $2 dollars cheaper when i remember to bring my student id (which is no longer valid, but still useful)

i just paid 6.50 on sunday to see x2 on the imax with my student id

gump 05-07-2003 10:35 AM

well i'm kinda lucky... they let the cripple folk and a guest in for free. :D

Boris37 05-07-2003 11:14 AM

freakin 8 bucks at home but 5 bucks at school

mino 05-07-2003 04:52 PM

going rate at the moment in Australia is about $AU13-14 for an adult ticket (about 8.50 bucks or so USD, I guess).

Of course, if you have relatives that run a cinema, they're free...... hehe.

TheDave87 05-07-2003 06:12 PM

50 cents if im being cheap, 7.50 for an evening show, 5 for a matinee

hotzot 05-07-2003 07:04 PM

$7.50 , $5.50 mat.

Uuudar 05-07-2003 07:08 PM

$9.50 night time ticket, but i get student discount to $7.50!

bundy 05-07-2003 07:12 PM

for a student in Australia its usually A$10.50. thats US$6.62.

but if you go to my uni, and go to the local cinemas, its only A$9, thats US$5.72

AsianRage 05-07-2003 08:42 PM

Ticket price used to be 3.50-matinee 5.00-night when I started payin 6 years ago. Now it's 5.50-matinee and 8.00-night. It's a significant increase. But I thinkit's better than what people is being charged elsewhere.

sngx1275 05-07-2003 09:53 PM

$6.50 to $6.75 depending on where I go.

krazykemist 05-08-2003 04:38 AM

I'm also here in the deepsouth and prices were 6.50 that is until last Friday when XMen 2 was released they went up to 7.00. Luckily they are about to implement a student discount for 5.00. Thanks to the few more years I just added on to finish out the masters I dont have to worry for a while.

txd 05-08-2003 07:11 AM

euro6 before 6pm and euro8 after 6pm

Omar12 05-08-2003 08:15 AM

$5.50 with student discount

Ryan 05-08-2003 03:21 PM

Here in Michigan at my local Star Threatre we pay $8.50 for a nightly movie. Counting popcorn and refreshments it is not uncommon for me to spend 30 bucks just to take a date out to the movies. Crazy it really is..

weirdo12345 05-08-2003 10:13 PM

Where I live Matinee is 5.50. A huge rip off.

sierra2774 05-09-2003 05:31 PM

$7.50 for the evening show.

We have a $1 theater but I have never been there.

ramon 05-09-2003 09:37 PM

$2.00 at the theater on campus
$5.00 everywhere else with my student ID ($7.00 normally)

wraithhibn 05-10-2003 02:00 PM

Where I live in Eastern Ky its $2 a matinee and $4 at night. The theater is kinda ghetto though.

Here in Louisville its 5.50 for a matinee, 7.50 in the evening.

Quadraton 05-10-2003 06:35 PM

Too much.

Movies in theatres are now reserved for movies that I really want to see, and can't wait for them to come out on DVD.

Remember It's $10 + the fee to buy the tkts online (normally $1-$1.50 per ticket) or else the showing you want can and will be sold out (especially the first weekend a movie is out in manhattan).

The $3.00 theatre is no longer around, but i think that it has been replaced by a $5 second run theatre inside of the virgin in times square.

Halx 05-11-2003 12:19 AM

$7 is student discount at the threater down the street, but there is another one around here where they dont give student discounts and the regular price is $9

Scorpio 05-11-2003 12:33 AM

Looks like $7.50 is the magic number in AR.

drag0nmanes 05-11-2003 12:37 AM

$6.50 Mat, $9.00, or free if the right people are working the front when I go...

KBilly 05-11-2003 11:23 PM

I think it is $2.50 at the dollar theater (makes sense doesnt it?) with the not-so-new releases and $8.50 at the main theater with the new releases

Prophecy 05-12-2003 08:05 AM

$7 regular price
$5 mat.
$4 kids and seniors
$5 with military ID

hrdwareguy 05-12-2003 09:32 AM

Too much...that's why I don't usually go to the theaters. Wait until I can rent it.

brandon11983 05-12-2003 09:43 AM

I can't wait to pay $6.50 for Matrix:Reloaded!!!

Narcissus 05-12-2003 09:44 AM

$6 normal

$4 matinee

GSRIDER 05-12-2003 11:27 AM

In Kansas City it's $7.00 prime time, $4 matinee

and 2 minutes in a video booth is still a $0.25... and I should be getting change dammit

Zotz 05-12-2003 06:43 PM

On the other side of Missouri in St. Louis, its $9.00 for evening shows, $6.00 for the matinee.

I keep telling the ticket clerk that I don't want to buy the film, I just want to view it.

MSD 05-13-2003 12:24 PM

$8.75, no idea what matinee the price is, never gone to one.

What the hell is this student discount thing? Why don't I get one?

Tyler90 05-15-2003 05:00 AM

I really don't know what the going rate for movies at a first-run theater is in our town these days. The last time I went to one of those theaters I paid $4 to see a matinee, but that's all I know about those. Mainly I go to the discount theater. $1 before 6:00 or all day on Tuesday!! Can't beat that.

holtmate 05-15-2003 09:08 AM

6.50 Student/matinee

8-9 other

We finally got another movie company in town, so prices won't rise as fast as they have been. Hopefully.

Bonesaw 05-16-2003 08:08 PM

At the new theater a couple of blocks from my house the price is:

Matinee is 6.00
Regular price 8.00
Senior is 6.00

At the "Dollar" theater:

All shows 2.00
but bring in a coupon and get a free bag of popcorn!
