Author Topic: Current Movie Ticket Prices Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 04-04-2005 06:30 PM                        I haven't paid to see a movie in forever, and of course I refuse to now even though I am out of the biz. Back when I was in the biz, I think adult tickets were around $7 for a non-matinee show. What do adult tickets cost nowadays? Also please mention your theater chain so that you can get suspended since your corporate office is undoubtedly full of morons.  |  IP: Logged Dominic Espinosa Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1172 From: Boulder Creek, CA.

With rare exceptions, NYC theaters do not charge less for daytime admission. I don't remember what I paid to see Star Wars and Close Encounters back in 1977, but $10.50 in 2005 dollars is $3.32 in 1977 dollars, and I think that's about right....probably paid around $3.50 back in 1977.  |  IP: Logged Chris Brown Expert Film Handler Posts: 105 From: Fairport, NY, USA Registered: Nov 2004 posted 04-04-2005 07:00 PM                        Adult Matinee: $6.25 Adult Eve: $8.75 Student All Day: $6.50 Child and Senior All Day: &6.25  |  IP: Logged Mike Spaeth Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1129 From: Marietta, GA Registered: Jul 2000 posted 04-04-2005 08:40 PM                        Adult Evening - $7.75 Student - $7.00 Adult Matinee - $6.00 Child/Senior - $5.00 Twilight (all tickets from 4-6) - $5.00 Subrun All Shows $1.00 Tuesday $0.50  |  IP: Logged Jarryd Beard Expert Film Handler Posts: 229 From: Hellertown, PA Registered: Jul 2004 posted 04-04-2005 08:47 PM                     Adult: $7.00 Child (3-11): $5.00 Student (Post-secondary/secondary): $5.25 Matinee: $5.25 Senior: $5.25  |  IP: Logged Don Furr Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 509 From: Sun City, Ca USA Registered: Nov 2002 posted 04-04-2005 09:30 PM                     Just got back from LA tonight.

Posts: 1431 From: Waukee, IA Registered: Dec 2004 posted 04-04-2005 09:31 PM                        Des Moines area first-run ticket prices range from a high of $8.25, to a low of $7.00. If you're willing to drive to Ames, you can pay $6.75 Friday/Saturday or $6.50 weeknights at Cinemark Movies 12. Matinee prices are much closer...$5.25 on the high end, $5.00 on the low. Cinemark in Ames is again the cheapest at $4.75. The very first show Mon-Fri is $4.25. What I've found is that the real ticket increases have been in the matinee period. Less than ten years ago, matinees in areas I frequent were rarely more than $3 or $4. Now they're as high as $7.50. Evening shows at the time were $6 to $7. Now they're $7 to $9.  |  IP: Logged Anslem Rayburn Master Film Handler Posts: 476 From: Yuma, AZ, USA Registered: May 2002 posted 04-04-2005 09:32 PM                     Independent Theater Adult Matinee : $5.50 Adult Evening : $7.50 Children (3-13): $4.50 Seniors (60+) : $4.50 Students (college/high school): $5.50  |  IP: Logged David Stambaugh Film God Posts: 4021 From: Eugene, Oregon Registered: Jan 2002 posted 04-04-2005 09:39 PM                        Regular (non-bargain) adult evening prices in Eugene/Springfield are $7.00 at the low end (Regal on slow weeknights) to $7.75 at the high end (Cinemark on weekends). Cinemark raised their prices when Oregon's minimum wage increased to $7.25/hr on Jan 1st. I think Regal held the line.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 04-04-2005 09:46 PM                        Clearly, we need to raise ours.
