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.

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

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about $2 dollars cheaper when i remember to bring my student id (which is no longer valid, but still useful)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

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

freakin 8 bucks at home but 5 bucks at school

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.

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

$7.50 , $5.50 mat.

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

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

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.

$6.50 to $6.75 depending on where I go.

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.

euro6 before 6pm and euro8 after 6pm

$5.50 with student discount

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..

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

$7.50 for the evening show.

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

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

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.

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.

$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

Looks like $7.50 is the magic number in AR.

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

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

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

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

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

$6 normal

$4 matinee

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

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.

$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?

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.

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.

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!

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!

$9.50 evening and $6.50 matinee

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!!

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.

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

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.

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!)

29 rand which is just under $4

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

£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.

:p

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

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.

$11.00 at the Century City AMC in Los Angeles.

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).

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

$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.

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

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).

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:(

$8.00 at the drafthouse, 9.00 at a megaplex.

dollar cheaper and I can have dinner and a beer. No more megaplexes for me.
