Colorado Springs, CO | Charge Less at Theatres! It's now costing as much as 9 dollars a person to go to the movies. For Families that's a lot of cash to put out just for a movie of dubious entertainment value. (I will not get into how many times I feel ripped off for bad movies.)
Perhaps if they lowered prices where it was affordable, gave enough to the cinemaplexes who show the movie (They take over 95% of ticket sales) and got the cinemas to actually do a good job of making sure the guy up in the booth is doing his job.
Oh and there really needs to be Adult only times at theaters. I've quit going as much because it's more of a babysitter place than anything. Parents just drop the kids off and that's that.

Yep.. Grain (wheat, corn, soybeans, etc.) is up over 25%-this translates into higher food prices. Oil is over 80 dollars a barrel (42 gallons). This means that gas is going to go up big time. Fall is here and that means heating season is right around the corner.
With these prices, there's no way in HELL that I can afford to take my family to the movies! There's no way in HELL that I can afford 18 dollars for a CD!
THAT'S the bottom line, MPAA and RIAA! Sell me what I want at a fair price on MY terms and I'll buy it. Try to rip me off (ie: the status quo) and I'll vote with my feet!
You basically have two choices: become customer friendly (ie: realize that the customer is your friend and partner, not crooks to be sued into submission!), or watch your customers dwindle away.
Frankly, I'm not hopeful you can pull it off... |

Lucky you. In NYC it's $12 per ticket. And they hand you mortgage forms to fill out if you stop by the concession stand.
