OK, this obviously isn't just restricted to movie ticket prices (gas prices have also been going up), but I've noticed yet more inflation wrt movie ticket prices here in Albuq, NM... Anyone else noticed this?
Not that many months ago, movie ticket prices went up from $7.00 student discounted and $8.50 (I think it was) normal price, to $8.00 student discounted, and $8.75 normal price. That wasn't that many months ago, and probably was no earlier then last November or December, if not this year.
So, I go down to the movies tonight (was there Friday of last week) and watched the new XXX movie... Anyhow, I noticed the prices had increased another 50 cents when she rung it up (to $8.50 student discounted). I commented about inflation, and asked (in case this wasn't correct) The ticket person commented that sales prices went up $.50 for all tickets. Man, it wasn't that long ago the rates were raised before...
I hadn't bothered to check concessions tonight to see if they went up any as well, so don't know...
