Maybe theatres should learn how to...

Posted by: jgbaxter on Jul 14, 10:21 in response to Goines12's post Does anyone think it's fair considering how much it costs...

1) Budget properly.

2) Understand basic economics and the best price point, especially on food & drink.

3) Think out of the box and find ways to bring the crowds in.

4) Demand a better relationship for distribution.

5) Realize that 'huge buildings' are only useful if they have 'huge attendence'.

Is anyone else sick of ticket prices continuing to go up? This is ridiculous! ndmaster Jul 13, 18:18

I've lived in NYC for over 20 years and I don't ever remember ticket prices being that low. {nm} secretstalker Jul 13, 19:42

Tuesday matinee is 5 bucks with 1 dollar popcorn and 1 dollar drinks, Carmike in Stillwater, OK {nm} damenchipguy Jul 13, 20:24

we need to move to the midwest {nm} tealfan Jul 13, 20:51

We also have two hockey teams, an NBA team, a WNBA team, Urgh Oklahoma University and my Oklahoma State Cowboys! {nm} damenchipguy Jul 14, 09:28

7 bucks for an evening showing. and I think 3D is 10--a definite bright spot from the middle of nowhere. {nm} burnyrhousedown Jul 13, 21:05

Or you can just wait for it to come out on Netflix like I do =) {nm} MoneyMagnet Jul 13, 19:01

I haven't been to a theatre since Dark Knight. Don't know. {nm} AgentEvil Jul 13, 19:12

With the higher ticket prices and adding 3D premiums on top of that it is getting ridiculous Budd Jul 13, 19:58

Matinée tickets at a restaurant/cinema in rich summer vacation area are 6.75. {nm} lukesed Jul 13, 20:31

tix cheap here, but wish gas would come down: drove an hour to see Good,Bad, Weird for $6, and 40minutes to see Ghost Writer for $2 :) {nm} islander Jul 13, 20:39

$5 every night in my theater $4 for kids TheSureThing Jul 13, 22:15

If you go frequently, I recommend buying Corporate Discount Tickets in bundles of 50. All the big chains have them, priced between $6-8. {nm} dsbman Jul 13, 23:10

I'm kind of sick of ticket prices on movies I short being so high... movies I go long on, I wish they were higher. {nm} secretstalker Jul 14, 02:42

Went for $5 yesterday (cheap Tuesdays...), normal price is 10$, + 3-4$ for the 3D supplement.... {nm} lukasck Jul 14, 06:01

$35 for two seats at the AMC Boston Common Imax screen to see Iron Man 2! {nm} swynne23 Jul 14, 07:14

What about postage prices going up 2 cents! It reeks of waste. {nm} laujer Jul 14, 08:05

$13 here in Calgary, Canada. So I find other ways to watch things that don't "need" a big screen (and my 42" works fine). {nm} jgbaxter Jul 14, 10:23
