Ticket prices for cinema likely pale in comparison to the changes as a result of technology improvements and COVID.
In the past two decades we've gone from the biggest home screens being a huge heavy CRT or mediocre projection screen, to large 1080p or 4k LCD and OLED displays. The average TV size was 25" in 2000, now approaching 50". [1] Audio has similar improvements, with not only built-in TV audio being better, but now with soundbars, subwoofers, wireless options, Atmos, etc it's much more common to have decent or excellent sound.
What does post-COVID theatre look like? I can't imagine it has zero effect.
