Lol, hell no. Especially when the movie will be streaming in 3 months time. Haven’t been to a theater since Endgame.
20$ is a joke.
I remember when Tickets were 5-10$ at most not even that long ago, wtf happened
They still are. I have no idea what this price is from, tickets where I live at normal theaters are still under $10 at most
It’s most likely a 3D or IMAX movie. Could not see why else it is so expensive.

I work at a pretty high end movie theater. All seats are recliners with tables, there’s a full wet bar and restaurant quality food, and we do events and shit too. Tickets typically run $10-$15. This is ridiculous.
What area of the world if you don’t mind answering? I used to love going to the cinema but its been too pricey for the past decade here.
I live in Vancouver and we have theatres similar to that here
Where? I’d love to go to one if you don’t mind sharing.
$10 - $15? in BC? I can’t get a lunch for under $20 anytime I was there, wonder why movies are the cheap thing still? Is this for a old cinema place?
You also have to go to a good theater, because a lot of the time you go and the picture is too dim and out of focus, and the sound system isn’t balanced properly. That will be $60 dollars.
That’s a ripoff. I imagine that theater is a lot nicer than the one nearest to me but tickets are usually $12 for an adult and $6 for a child. But on Wednesdays all tickets are $6 regardless of age. They call it date night but you don’t have to bring a date. You can even come alone. Or so I’ve been told ಥ_ಥ
The popcorn isn’t even all that expensive either, but the drinks are. I think mostly because drinks are the easiest to sneak in.
That’s ridiculous. I can get recliner seats with tons of arm room and reserved seating for $15 CDN. $12 for a matinee showing.
Same. For $9. Including a drink and popcorn. $11 for a ticket with a large drink and large popcorn.
Have to hit the matinees. I take my son to a nearby movie theatre that has a full bar/menu and the tickets for he and I to go are around or under $20 for both of us. It’s like $9.25 per person.
Yeah also a lot of places near me have $5 or $6 dollar Tuesday or whatever other special throughout the week
An exterminator told me that a lot of cinemas have issues with bedbugs. Since then, I haven’t been able to set foot in one.
I’ve heard the same. They weren’t enjoyable places even pre covid and now it’s just not worth the trip or the risk. Better experience at home for less money.
That’s horrifying to think about
I’d rather buy some kind of AAA game.
You should find some small local cinemas. Sure screen is smaller, but so is the price and the atmosphere is great.
Something tells me this was an imax or dolby theatre. In which case, of course the tickets are more expensive.
I always was confused why Imax places built 20 years ago still have such a premium. Does the Imax light cost more? I get that the Imax movie data costs more but I can’t see the rational for double the ticket price.
The equipment (projectors/sound system) is better/more expensive. The imax/Dolby theatres themselves are also sometimes higher quality than standard format theatres.
But how does a cost years ago (the better projectors/sound system) somehow mean the cost is higher today then when built? I remember paying maybe 15% more for Imax 15 years ago and now they are double. I get costing more but when normal tickets are $20 and Imax are $36 it seems they have lost their mind.
I saw Indiana Jones today it had 25 minutes of trailers, an admonishment to not ruin the movie, Nicole Kidman telling me how great going to the movies is, and a commercial for the projector. So a movie listed to start at 11 started at 11:28. it’s fucking ridiculous.
I find that pretty consistent for AMC. What ever the listed time is the film will play after 30min of trailers/promos. Its annoying but easy to plan around.
CONVENIENCE FEES HAHAHAHA
God what a scam that shit is
What you don’t find paying extra money convenient?
“Hey, we saved money by computerization, so we’re gonna pass that cost onto you!”
“Don’t you mean ‘pass the savings onto us?’”
:D “Nope!”
Honestly they probably spend so much on devs to maintain their website that they don’t break even lmao
The amount you’d save not hiring physical ticket sales workers would absolutely dwarf any amount of possible dev salaries for one website.
Lol in my local cinema I have to use a computer next to the ticket taker to print my ticket I bought online and then they physically look at it to tell me which theatre I should walk to, it’s like Idiocracy’s costco
It’s a convenient way for them to rip you off
I like all the jokes about the fee. I’d say the price before that isn’t convenient either.
