This afternoon, after Himself came home from work, we decided to take the kids to the movies. We thought we'd catch an early session & then have a lovely burger for dinner, then home by 7pm. Good early night.
Got to the movie theatre and went to buy the tickets. The lovely gentleman behind the counter smiled and asked how many I would like? 2 adults, 3 children please. No problem, that will be $75.
Excuse me? I thought I heard you say $75?
Yes - that is how much it costs.
But we've never, ever paid that much to see a movie - ESPECIALLY a kids movie. We were only here 2 weeks ago and we paid $50, and that was too much then.
Well, that's how much it costs. No Family Ticket offer, no "pay by Visa and get a discount" offer.
So we went to the DVD shop on the way home and rented the latest Scooby-Doo movie. For $6.50.
We use this particular cinema often. It has really convenient parking and isn't too far from home. But we won't use it again. And we will recommend our friends never use it again either.
$75...
Well, I guess we know how the movie companies make their money now don't we?
