Would you pay $19.49 to see The Batman?

I don't think so…
I go to friend's and relative's homes. I get out and shop now and then.
Lately, I have been going to the library and the animal shelter…
I'm looking forward to shopping my favorite nursery for plants for my ever growing garden…
Since it has warmed up, I'm even ditching the treadmill for long walks out in the fresh air, weather permitting.
Are you agoraphobic?
Would you say that I am?

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.

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.

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.

"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.

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.

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!

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.

Sounds wonderful!
On second thought, at my age, in such comfort in the dark, I'd fall asleep and miss the movie!

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

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.
