How much does it cost to go to the Theater?

[mr. nails]

so, i went to the movies recently for the first time in forever. w0w, cost so much money to go! matinee cost $6.25 and evening shows are $8.50. lol, just to much money anymore to go. what's ur price? oh, and a medium drink was $4. that's just stupid.

[SingaBoiy]

$9 for evening and somewhere around $6 for the early shows.

[Gripper]

£5.90 here in England,don't know how much snacks are...I do know they are extortionate,take my own drinks and snacks,lots cheaper:w00t: :01:

[Rip The Jacker]

Matinee shows = $8
Full price = $10.50
Price I pay = $0.00 :01:

Bottle of water (the ones you get get for under a dollar at the gas station) = $3.50 :pinch:

[colt45joe]

Yeah... life is expensive here... =/

[GepperRankins]

£5.50 or something. off to see aeon flux on thursday. i'll tell you then. :01:

i remember there was this thing on TV about easy cinema. even though they would pay film companies the same price as other cinemas, they wouldn't let them show new films cause they wanted to sell tickets for £1. business people are just cunts :fist:


ps. i don't care what mulder says :snooty:

[Chewie]

Took my youngest to see Goblet of Fire and although the ticket prices weren't too bad (considering it's £38 to see Stomp! at the Vaudeville Theatre in London) the price of 'concessions' is ridiculous.
I convinced my daughter we should watch the film then go to next door McDonalds and saved myself a fiver by buying two meals there instead of popcorn n a soft drink each in the Vue venue.

[Mr. Mulder]

about £5.50/6.00, drinks and popcorn are stupid prices, but their popcorn just tastes so good :cry:

[Cheese]

£5.00 with student discount. I take my own beer and pork scratchings in to save money.

I don't know if you guys have ever noticed this, but they put something in their fountain drinks. Not only is it diluted but they put something in it....dont' know what though. :ph34r: oh and here in vancouver tickets are about 10 bucks canadian, 4.50-5.00 for a medium drink :angry:

[Busyman]

This is what I do....

1. I go to www.movietickets.com or www.fandango.com and buy, if it's a R rated movie, 1 adult and the rest children's tickets. We then split the overall cost. If its G, PG, or PG-13, I buy all children's tickets.

If going to the box office to buy the tickets (which is rare), I buy 1 adult and the rest children's tickets always. They can see you aren't a kid when you buy.

2. Get a Movie Watcher card (http://www.moviewatcher.com/mw_info_card.html)for AMC Theaters (www.movietickets.com). When you order your tickets online, you don't get the $1 service fee per ticket and when they print out at the theater kiosk or box office you get coupons for free stuff like popcorn, candy, soda, etc.

3. Buy some of the refreshments beforehand. If you want Goobers, Kit Kats, or even a sandwich, bring it in with you in your pocket. It's not like they check for it and pat you down.:ermm: Now that I think of it, you could even bring can sodas although I've never done it.

4. Many theaters don't watch you leave at the end of the movie so movie hop if you have the time and the alertness to stay awake for another movie. Me and my gf saw Get Rich Or Die Tryin' (nice movie:D ) then Aeon Flux (piece o shit :angry: ) with ease recently. Just make sure the start/end times match up mostly. Movie hopping is super easy at the mega theaters with 20 or more screens which we have plenty of around here.

Funny thing is when I worked at the movie theater as a teenager, the free movie novelty wore off rather quickly. It was cool for the "bang a new chick after seeing a new movie" night but ultimately it felt like I was 'going to work' on my time off.

Oh I save much more than that.

How is it that much trouble to.....

1. Buy my tickets beforehand and pick the up at a kiosk vs. standing in line. Actually with fandango, I print my tickets at home.

2. Click 1 adult and 1 child vs 2 adults (or say it).

3. Get free popcorn, etc. vs. pulling out money to pay for it.

4. Buy extra refreshments while grocery shopping vs. standing in the concession line to pay more for it.

It's more trouble to NOT do that stuff.:ermm:

The qualitative factors also seem lost on the lad.

I think I'd be a tad humbled if upon hiding from the teenage usher in order to see a film for free with teh missus, we were discovered and asked, unceremoniuosly, to leave.

In fact, I don't think we'd get to that situation, I feel sure she'd say to me 'Look, if you really want to see this film, just pay, you fucking mentalist'.

This is the bit where he normally mentions filesharing. Saying that it's the same as him stealing goods and services so everyone should STFU.

I have no problem with that. I'll do my thing, you can do yours. It's likely a cultural thing and as such outside of my judgmental jurisdiction.
Yeah my mom didn't make a stink 'cause of how I got it. If had told her that I ran out of the store after snatching from off the shelf she wouldn't have wanted it. Since I used a valid receipt scanned into their automated customer pick-up, there was no problem.

For instance, a fella I play basketball with told me he can get Xbox's. I said cool get me one.

When I go up to the store, while in my car, he walks up and says for me to go in and buy something small, and the cashier that he knows will put the Xbox in my bag, and I just walk out. I told him FUCK NO I ain't doin' that. He went and got it and I payed him for it another day.

Hook-ups and hot merchandise are a dime-a-dozen.

As far as movie hopping that's done as a goof and not with hiding. There are super theater that just don't check tickets after your in and they definitely don't check adult/child. You walk out to get popcorn and walk back in. You walk out one theater and can walk right in another.

I can't imagine that on a date with the cop female that I'd have said to her, "We need to pay for our tickets."

I also can't imagine refusing half-price farecards.

As far as pointing out some cultural difference, that's not what you were doing. It amounted to "your stealing is despicable and mine is ok" (although they are both stealing). "Let's fuck with him".

Everyone has their limit as to what deemed ok like I wouldn't take something off a store shelf but would buy hot merchandise.

It's still wrong though and I can't be a hypocrite and say it's quite alright and there is nothing wrong.

Breach of copyright is not stealing here. Stealing is a criminal offence, breach of copyright is a civil matter.

Maybe our laws are just more civilized.

"When I go up to the store, while in my car, he walks up and says for me to go in and buy something small, and the cashier that he knows will put the Xbox in my bag, and I just walk out. I told him FUCK NO I ain't doin' that. He went and got it and I payed him for it another day."

Could anything be more ironic.

If you are in London and you want to go to the cinema in Edinburgh, it will cost you £225.50.

This is only because they've put the train fares up like 9% or something.
