I've been a Titanic fan all my life, it just struck to research the question and boy was I shocked:
Cost of a ticket (one way)
First Class (parlor suite) 870/$4,350 ($83,200 today)
First Class (berth) 30/$150 ($2975 today)
Second Class 12/$60 ($1200 today)
Third Class 3 to 8/$40 ($298 to $793 today)
On top of that the first class still had to pay for luxuries like the pool or other games which could range from 25 to 50 cents.

Still a fortune.
If the Strauses paid, together, a total of 442, that would be about 45,000 or 46,000 today, or about $70,000.

Interesting website, yeah this source is definitely more reputable.

Apparently, however, no one paid anything like the listed price. The Strausses, for example, had one of the parlor suites and they paid 221 pounds each for their tickets, much less than the quoted prices.
If you scroll through the first class passenger list here:
http://www.encyclopedia-titanica.org/titanic-first-class-passengers/
you can see quite a range of ticket prices, but nothing approaching the 870 pounds which I have seen referenced on many sites. Perhaps these were prices planned for future voyages.

Interesting.
So the pool/games were in the range of $5 to $10 (your conversions are around 20x).
