Movie Ticket Prices

[Late For Reality]

What are the movie ticket prices in your area?

I live in North Dakota, here we only have two movie theatres. One theatre (Carmike) has 8 screens, and the other (Grand) has 16 screens. Both theatres get different movies. In my opinion, Grand is the best. They have bigger theatres, stadium seating (better viewing), and cheaper movie prices. And it's more nice.

Carmike 8 is connected to a mall no one goes to, and it's seats are all in a straight row, so it's not so great. And the seats are uncomfortable after about an hour. Plus, they play a million commercials, AND trailers. So it takes about 30 minutes before the film starts. As for Grand, they only play trailers. So it's not that long of a wait.

The one thing I loved most about living here was the cheap movie ticket prices. But from the past two years, I've noticed the prices have grown dramatically.

The cheapest I remember the movie tickets here being were $7.50. Both of the theatres had that price in August 2006. I went to "Pulse" on it's first night showing, and "John Tucker Must Die" right before that. Two movies in one day = major love.

And then around January 2007, the prices changed. Both theatres had their movie tickets at $7.75.

In the fall of 2007, Carmike raised their prices to $8.00, as Grand stayed the same, a 25 cents cheaper.

And NOW, as of about a month ago, they changed their prices AGAIN. Carmike raised their prices to $8.50 (ridiculous!), and Grand raised theirs to $8.00.

So now, us North Dakotans have to pay $8 or $8.50 to see a movie. This sucks compared to $7.50 a year and a half ago.

If the theatres here keep raising their prices, I'll go insane. Because I'm a movie whore. And this isn't making me happy.

The one more close to were I live charges about $9.50 which is why I dont go to the theaters much. I dont like paying that much money to hear people act like morons while I try to watch a movie.

Theres another theater one county away from me thats only $1. It only shows the movies that the other theaters are about to stop showing and its always full of hillbillies and there loud ass kids so it sucks to.

[BooBerry]

The tix in Vegas are crazy. 8.50 or so before 5pm. After its 10 or 11, depending on where you go. But I have my Regal rewards card that helps get me free consessions. But otherwise I sneak things in. No way in hell I'll pay 4.00 for a candy bar.

I havent bought movie theatre food in a long time (3 dollars for Reese's Pieces, no sale), so I have no idea.

[redmoon]

where i live i can get to about 4 theaters they are all the same price around here 9.50 i'm not sure what the earlier movies are as i never see them if we go to the movies we usually go to the latest showing of the movie or at least a close second as for food and stuff they actually thought 3 dollars is a good price for a freaking water bottle that is insane i can get water bottles less then 1.50 at places

[koolmike]

$6 all day Tuesdays

[JeNnYFuR]

We just got a new 6 screen theater, and last I heard, matinee was $5.75 and after 6, it is $7.75. I never go there.

I'd rather just go to Tallahassee to the AMC 20 theater in the mall. Matinee is $4.50 and after 6 it is $9.50. We always get the matinee because we're cheapskates. They also have GIANT screens and will show 3D movies.

[IKickAssForTheLord]

[Chief Falling Rock]

I go to 2 theaters. Pinnacle (regal) is about 10 minutes from where I work so I go there after work sometimes, but the adult prices are $9.25, so since there so expensive I usually go to a showing before 6. Their $7.00. Its a very nice theater, and the closest to me that plays 3D movies. Like I said ver nice theater, but the outside looks like a carebear threw up on it. Heres what I mean. Ugly as hell.

The one that is closer to my home and the 1 I go to most often is a cinemark theater called Tinseltown (horrible name I know). its only 7 bucks there at late showings unless its Friday or Saturday then its $7.75. And before 6 its only $5.25 so thats not bad.

[Lemmywinks]

$8.50 matinee $11.75 regular. Why I don't see movies in the theater often.

[3/6]

when i saw Ricky Bobby, as i said on page 1, it was 7.50 or some shit..but that theater has closed down. We Had about 7 theaters within a 7 mile radius, but now about 4 have closed :(
when i saw Friday the 13th..its was 9.50, but the theater has a ticket machine where u can buy your tickets, instead of waiting in line. The machine asks you if your a High School kid, Student discount, but requires no proof. So my freind and I always hit that the student discount button. Ends up being 6.00 buxz
:D

[JeNnYFuR]

Adult Evening - $7.75
Matinees (all shows before 6pm) - $5.75
Child/Senior - $5.75

Nice. Cali is too uptight for that sort of thing. Hence majority of the time I wait for dvd. Waiting to have to donate blood just to see a fucking movie.

[ZION]

Havent paid for a movie ticket in 2 years. But if I go here To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 5 or greater. You currently have 0 posts. with tickets, food and drinks for me and my wife its atleast $50.00.

[Lemmywinks]

Waiting for DVD is pretty much the only way to go today; you're going to wind up paying just a little more for it anyway, so why not just own it while you're at it? :thumbup3:

:coolbeer: Another reason why I wait because its worth it.

[strtfghtr]

umm lets see...

Lowes Cineplex in Plainville, CT it was $10 for Friday the 13th
some small crappy theater in Seymour, CT it was $7 for the Wrestler
Showcase Theaters in Milford for the Digital Screen My Bloody 3-D was $14 i think

The showcase one depends on which screen you see it one...digital is usually like 12, regular is 9-10 i think, and the "Directors theater" (which has a wait staff and SUPER comfy chairs with tons of leg room) is like 15...those are just guesses though
