d. hardly ever etc. (please specify)

1. how much does a movie ticket cost where you?

havnt been in years
but i do watch tons of movies off the internet

i think a ticket costs around $10 US

1) A.

2) A$7-16 depending which day you go but $16 is generally the average price or with membership an average of $11.

1- A (at least once a week)
2- 5 to 9€, usely "less" because I have a monthly card (19€)

1) Used to go at least once a week, now about once a month.

2) 5€.

Once in 3 months or so. $NZ16.00. That's $US8.00.

A)
$15 aus and $36 for gold class when the other half and I feel the urge (about 4 or 5 times a year)

c). on account of lack of babysitting options.

Average movie in town is £6, but if I go on Mondays, it's £3.99, or on Weds, I can get a 2 for 1 offer through my Orange mobile. My local cinema also does a ticket for £&.50 per year where ALL seats are only £3.99. So, compared to many, not bad, price-wise for the UK.

at the moment once a week cos its awards season and so the quality goes up. in the summer, about once every 6 weeks

'Bout once a month and it costs 5 to 8 Euros depending on the cinema and time of day.
Ten or so years ago, I used to go about once a week but now we have "downloading".

Given the feast or famine scheduling of my local movie theatre, it probably averages out to about once a month.

Downtown, it costs about 8 or 9€; nearby I buy a pass of 7 tickets for 33€.

thanks for the replies, everyone....

it's interesting to see the costs around the world. ignoring the exchange rates, 16 for a movie ticket sounds really expensive....

in the last ten years, average about 35-40 movies per year at the theater. We rent others either at video stores or off premium cable PPV.
At the theaters, cost is $3 to $14 at regular thaters, we use coupons available at $8.50.
Arthouses are $10 CDN but have the best and cheapest popcorn, one has the best seats.

a. if it's autumn - winter - spring
c. in summer

Pricewise -it varies as I go to cinema in Sweden and in Poland. In Sweden SEK 90 (=€ 8.50 now, 10.50 a few months ago), in Poland about half that price.

16 - that's NZ$ and that's cheap for a ticket.

16 - that's NZ$ and that's cheap for a ticket.

not if you're earning nz$, not sek or euro or gbp....

Fallacy. Surely you don't believe that someone who earns US $50K/yr in the US would receive £50K in the UK (=US $75K) for the same job or 50K yen in Japan (=US $550) ?

If NZ$16 is US $8, then that's the price of the ticket.

no, i don't. the question is, do the kiwis find it expensive?

imagine by the same token, an indobesian say, nz$16, wow, that's expensive!! (= idr 99228.00)....

Looking over the past three years I go twice a year and half of those times were for the children. In shekels we pay here in Israel but the equivalent is USD $7.50.

For me the oddity is I love being in the movie theater but a tad less if that theater is in Israel. Yet for some reason I never make it to the movies. For my family it isn't an issue of money per se it's just that we are so unplugged from the info highway as to what's playing here. I think when we lived in the States we saw movies advertised on TV and that's how we became aware of what we next wanted to see but here in Israel we don't have commercials but on a few stations and none that I watch any how. So I guess the difference for us is that in America we were waiting with anticipation for the next Tom Cruise movie where here we get the urge to see a film we call and find out what's playing and usually hang up the phone with no interest left to see what's being shown.

1-2 a month

My last movie was Fantasia 2000 -- 9 years ago.

I have no idea what tickets cost where I live in México.

I go to the movies about 3 or 4 times a week.

It costs between 10€ and 10.50€ to go to the movies if you are paying the full rate (which is what I did in NYC last month -- paid $12.50 per movie in Manhattan).

However, the unlimited movie pass in France costs just 19.80€ per month. Anybody who goes to the cinema more than twice a month would be a fool not to have one.
