Author Topic: Jonas Brothers 3D Ticket Prices Barry Floyd Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1079 From: Lebanon, Tennessee, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 02-25-2009 11:52 AM                        My 8 year old son wanted me to take him to the local Regal theatre to see the new Jonas Brothers 3D concert thing, as I figured if I could sit thru Riverdance on stage that my wife made me see, I could handle the Jonas Brothers. $15.00 each for tickets? They were serious. Are all 3D movies that expensive? If so... I don't have any worries about the survival of my drive-in any time soon.  |  IP: Logged Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan."

No. Just these Disney concert shows for kids things usually. If I remember correctly, last year's Hanna Montana 3D show was commanding a $18 per ticket price. I think the prices for the 3D showing of the recent BCS Championship game were also pretty steep. $20 or more I think. Prices for 3D vary from one theater to the next. Our local Carmike usually charges $2 above normal prices for 3D movies.  |  IP: Logged Claude S.

Therefore tickets are $15 and up with no discounts for matinee, child, senior or anything. For some reason, the desire of kids to see these is so great that people actually pay the price. Last year we only had 1 3D location when Hannah Montana came out and we sold out every show except the earliest friday show and the latest sunday show for the entire opening weekend. I was shocked people would pay that price. I could understand the price if it was a true special event live concert 3D broadcast. I guess if people will pay then why not charge that much.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 02-25-2009 11:56 PM                        I think a concert film such as this SHOULD cost more than a regular movie. - You can sit in a nice cushy theater chair instead of a crappy arena seat - You get a nice closeup view of the performer instead of a nosebleed view - You have your choice of dozens of show times. - You get to hear it on a sound system that will (hopefully) sound good but not make your eardrums bleed with distortion And it still costs far less than the real concert would.  |  IP: Logged Barry Floyd Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1079 From: Lebanon, Tennessee, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 02-26-2009 08:54 AM                        I guess Mike has a point.... I just really never considered it as going to a concert. The whole time, I've looked at it as just another movie in the megaplex - that just happens to be featuring the Jonas Brothers. I probably will end up taking him anyway. He keeps pointing out to me that I took his brother to the Titans/Jets game last fall and left him at home. They never forget anything...  |  IP: Logged Mark Lensenmayer Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1605 From: Upper Arlington, OH Registered: Sep 1999 posted 02-26-2009 11:51 AM                     Does the theatre get any extra benefit from these $15 tickets, or do you end up with the same amount as a normal release?  |  IP: Logged Claude S. Ayakawa Film God Posts: 2738 From: Waipahu, Hawaii, USA Registered: Aug 2002 posted 02-26-2009 01:29 PM                        We now know Disney charges extra for their 'Concert' films in 3-D especially in IMAX but how much extra does it cost to see a 2-D movie in Digital IMAX compared to regular movies in 35mm. Here in Hawaii, I pay $6.75 as a senior citizen to see a standard movie and about $2.50 more for 3-D. Now that Honolulu will have a commercial 3-D IMAX theatre again, how much more will I be asked to pay to see a movie in 2-D Digital IMAX like WATCHMEN next week? If I wanted to see a future 3-D digital IMAX presentation, how much more will I be expected to pay compared to a 2-D film in that format? -Claude  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 02-26-2009 03:57 PM                     I wouldn't even pay 5 bucks to see this crock!  |  IP: Logged Justin Hamaker Film God Posts: 2253 From: Lakeport, CA USA Registered: Jan 2004 posted 02-26-2009 06:04 PM                        quote: Barry Floyd I figured if I could sit thru Riverdance on stage that my wife made me see, I could handle the Jonas Brothers. Riverdance was actually entertaining to watch. You would have to pay me a decent sum to sit through the Jonus Brother's concert.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 02-26-2009 06:22 PM                        Jonas Bros. are actually a pretty good band for their genre. They play their own instruments and write their own songs. I would venture to say the more annoying thing about going to the concert film would be the teenyboppers in the crowd.  |  IP: Logged Frank Angel Film God Posts: 5305 From: Brooklyn NY USA Registered: Dec 1999 posted 02-27-2009 03:14 AM                        Someone said the rumor going around is that the boys show up at various theatres after the movie and the audience of however many teen girls are told that the way to get one of them to apear is to scream as loud as they can so the guy can hear them and thus will make an appearance. I can't hazard a guess as to what decible level a room full of those screaming teens will be able to generate at say 3kHz, but there's no guessing need to know that it will be more painful that sticking ice picks in both my ears at the same time. Thank you no....I don't think I will be paying $15 for a 76 min movie and the accompanying ear torture.  |  IP: Logged Claude S. Ayakawa Film God Posts: 2738 From: Waipahu, Hawaii, USA Registered: Aug 2002 posted 02-27-2009 08:38 PM                        Since no one was able to provide me with information how much it was going to cost to see this film, I was able to get the information from Fandango. Yes, the regular 3-D version will cost $15.00 but the IMAX will be $2.50 more. It is hard to believe people are willing to pay that much to see this film. Mark said he would not even pay $5.00 to see this movie. I feel more strongly about it when I say I would not see it even if it was free. As much as I would like to check out how Digital IMAX 3-D look, I will wait until March when MONSTERS VS ALIENS is released in the format. Although I am not crazy about animated 3-D films, I will not have to put up with teenage girls screaming all around me! -Claude  |  IP: Logged Paul Linfesty Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1383 From: Bakersfield, CA, USA Registered: Nov 1999 posted 02-27-2009 09:36 PM                     So does Digital IMAX 3-D use the 2 stacked projectors that they use for 2-D? Or do they use 4 stacked projectors (2 for each eye?)  |  IP: Logged Julio Roberto Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 938 From: Madrid, Madrid, Spain Registered: Oct 2008 posted 02-28-2009 01:47 AM                    Just one set of stacked projectors for 3D. 2 projectors for 2D. 2 projectors also for 3D. You do the math  |  IP: Logged
