Disappointed that "cost" only appeared once, and neither "ticket" nor "price" appeared in the article. Ticket prices for movies at the theater are absurd. It's an experience that we've lost, and it's been buried under ludicrous consumer costs.

People have been complaining about movie ticket prices for decades. Average inflation-adjusted ticket prices are pretty much the same as they were in 1970. http://collider.com/movie-ticket-price-inflation-statistics/ http://collider.com/movie-ticket-price-inflation-statistics/

  $8 would be nice, but it is around £16 in London: https://booking.cineworld.co.uk/booking/8110/37196/0974ddb0944c11e98d2e3ba71e5bb233/tickets https://booking.cineworld.co.uk/booking/8110/37196/0974ddb09...

    And London tickets probably cost a lot more than the US average in 1970 too. Certainly, in NYC movie tickets have tended to cost quite a bit more than the suburban theater norm.

I pretty much only go to movies on a Wednesday evenings and Saturday mornings these days. Cheaper and less crowded.
