I'm doing the dollar theater wrong

[hoosierdoc]

Just spent $49

six tickets for 3D Jungle Book, two drinks, and four things of candy. Kids are happy though

They might need to rename the dollar theater something else.

But you helped that theatre live another day.

The fart soaked seats keep me away from there for the most part.

A stop for candy in advance would help that...as would these wise words...

I sneak in syrup concentrate packets and grab a used cup from the floor. Then I fill it in the sink and drop a CO2 canister in it, so it's not like I'm paying theater prices

Did you read the "fine print"

All tickets N stuff $1.00 Short of $50.00

Haha, good memory

i should have done the candy thing, you're right

There is a very nice 1st run theater in Niles, MI. $5-7 movie tickets, $2-3 pops and popcorn. Last time I took my wife and kids it was under $30 for everything.

Did you at least sit in front of another theater patron?

You misspelled "moist."

Yes, by four rows. Daytime midweek show at dollar theater wasn't crowded

this theater actually is nice. We've had no cleanliness issues.

I have wondered if the theater owners realize they would sell a lot more product and not have people bringing in their own if they would just price things reasonably.

if McDonald's can sell a large Coke for $1, why does the theater have to charge $5.75?

Volume and competition.

Yee charge what the market will bare.

Hrm.... I think that's the wrong bare. But funny. Reminds me of my limerick

running along in my underwear,
neighbors stopped and they started to stare
put a hand to my chin,
then I said with a grin,
i don't know how much more I can bare

Because people will buy it.

Inelasticity of demand.

Here is my receipt for 4 tickets, 4 drinks, 2 candys and a popcorn. This is not a dollar theater. We are seeing The Secret Life of Pets. $26.xx total.
