Movie Ticket Price

How much do you normally pay for a movie ticket where you live? Here in NYC I believe it's over $10 now for a normal ticket with matinee at $7. According to wikipedia the average ticket in the US in 2005 cost $6.41 which surprized the hell out of me, so now I'm curious what everyone here pays.

7 or 8 depending on which theatre i goto, for a normal show.

What the ****? I pay $5 CAD at my local Famous Players and Odeon.

$8.25 for a night movie. Ridiculous.

9.75 in the Bay Area for a night show. More ridiculous.

Up at school its down to about 8.00 or something like that. 6.50 for a matinee. Still really high.

Not to mention the absurd costs of popcorn and sodas in these places. Coupled together, its no wonder why less and less people are going to the movies and more people are just renting when they come out. Netflix is the wave of the future.

Yeah, $9.75 at my place too. That's why I got a job at the theatre, free admission. ^_^

Blackmane, where in the Bay Area are you?
