It's for free on Italian TV right now,
and I don't have incentive to watch it till the end, it is unwatchable crap.

I would have paid $199.49 to see it. I have never seen a better film.

Our cinema has Tuesday and Wednesday showings for $5.
My dad is frugal and only goes to the show on Tuesday or Wednesday.
However, I wanted to see The Batman badly, being hyped for this years and all, so I forked out the money for opening day. I figure if it's a movie you really want to see, and it only happens biannually, then $40 for 2 tickets biannually isn't going to break you.
But of course, it'd wouldn't be wise to do this with every movie. But special occasions, and special movies, yes.
Never lose your desire.

I wouldn't pay that to see Jesus when he returns.

I wouldn't pay 0.49cents to see it.
Around $20.00 would be the average ticket price in Australia depending on where one chooses to go to see it and what kind of cinema experience. Event chain are the rip-off merchants and an adult for a normal session is around $22.00.
Norman! What did you put in my tea?

Too long didn't read

If this is for a meet n greet and an autograph and will prove once and for all that he is real, sure, why not?
As long as he throws in a ride in his Batmobile or Batcopter.

Yeah, and I already did. For a movie like this that’s meant to be a cinematic experience, I don’t mind paying such a price to see it on the big screen.
I live. I die. I live again.

I'd go to see the ballet, but to watch a movie where the volume is at 500 decibels, squinting in darkness with tons of people yapping their pie holes or kicking the back of my seat, talking on their phone. Oh please. Pppttthh.
I'm with ya, but I still do go to the cinemas at least twice a month. Readings have Titan Luxe sessions, but need 30mins to drive there. Recliner seats which are very cosy and spacious with a decent sized screen, but the Dolby Atmos can be loud.
I love the ballet.
Norman! What did you put in my tea?

There's a Batman ballet now? Awesome! I'm in, Lilith.

Hell no. I hate going to theatres to watch movies anyway.

Most theaters here converted to reclining chairs so they only hold half the number of people they used to.
Sounds wonderful!
On second thought, at my age, in such comfort in the dark, I'd fall asleep and miss the movie!
You asked a pretty question; I've given you the ugly answer.

Yeah prices are outrageous nowadays even the food. Most theaters here converted to reclining chairs so they only hold half the number of people they used to. It feels more luxurious so you feel like you get your money’s worth.
Hey Diddler, Diddler….the cat and the fiddler LOL

Sounds like fun!
All we have in our city is one theater. It's a multiplex which means that you are herded into these tiny rooms with small screens. The seats are close and uncomfortable. Who needs that when they charge $15.00 for a ticket and forget food and drink!

Probably. There is a 4D theater near me that charges $25. The chairs move to simulate movement. When there are rapid fire gunshots they vibrate. It’s good for action films and special effects heavy films.

"Isn't that pricing in line with a lot of sporting events?"
It depends.
HS and small colleges can be free.
Then prices vary and get higher the bigger the venue, the closer the seat, the sporting event and the importance of the team in terms of status.
I doubt there is any pro sports where a ticket costs $20.
That is how much it costs just to park in their lot.

I'd pay that amount for an ungodly huge screen with a blasting good stereo and great seats, sure. Isn't that pricing in line with a lot of sporting events?

Not that I went to theatres to see movies all that often but I have lost interest since the lockdown to go out and see them at all.
I just don't feel that excited for any upcoming ones like I used to and I don't stream them.

No. And for having shameless greed I am gonna short their stock even more so they go bankrupt.

Fuck no!
Is the Ukraine war a reason why the price is up now?
We don't talk about Bruno! No, no, no!

Nope.
You've seen Guy Standeven in something because the man was in everything.

I use to like going a lot of places. Stadiums were fun, but you are right. The prices for everything are ridiculous. I'll admit that now that I am much older, I can do without "The Experience".
You get a better view from the tv, and instant replays! In the winter, you are much warmer!
I use to enjoy the stock car races and the horse shows. I am just no longer into getting out with a crowd of people these days.
I still enjoy civic things celebrations in the summer. Now that flu restrictions seem to be behind us, I look forward to getting out more.

I hear ya.
Yeah, be it ever so humble there is no place like home.
I can relate since I feel like the couch for watching sports is the best and the cheapest seat.
They say there is something about the stadium experience but I am fine without the crowds and the second mortgage for the parking, concessions and ticket prices.
