ludicrous prices? the nicest Dolby cinema tickets at AMC are like ten bucks
sure you spend more on snacks but you can also just not
At my local theatre the nice seats are $18 and the slightly cheaper normal seats are $15. That's including fees for times outside of working hours.
A theatre outing for me and my wife costs more than a 4k uhd bluray for the movies we watch.
That's not even including food, which if we go to a theatre we usually bring to avoid the high food prices.
Ten bucks? Where you at
American cinema prices are not the only cinema prices.
what are prices like across the pond?
About 30 PLN for a standard seat in Poland, but that's not really going to tell the whole story without looking at things like the median income, average prices of other goods etc.
For some reference, that's the price for a month of standard Netflix over here.
I cheapskate the whole cinema-going experience - I have a monthly pass that is paid off by two or three visits a month (I go twice a week - one week last month I went 5 times, but 3 of those was a LotR marathon), plus I bring my own snacks and a bottle of water. Probably works out at the equivalent of three bucks a pop plus petrol, for big, wide reclining seats and iSense where available.
