Ticket Price Increase
I am sure that almost everyone has noticed the increase of ticket prices now days. Ticket prices have increased in sporting events, concerts, movies and more. The average price of a movie ticket now days is $5.85. They say that consumers willingness to buy sets the price, but when will we decide that we had enough of the price increases? And when will the "price setters" recognize that we will not pay more. Ticket sales for concerts have continued to increase as attendance decreases. "Ticket sales for concerts went down by 300,000."
Movies make more than the production cost in the first week of showing now days. Is it because movies being released are great and everyone wants to see them? Or is it because the prices of tickets are extremely high? The same things goes with music and other entertaining events.

I also have noticed the raising prices in movie tickets. When I first started going to the movies it was about 2 or 3 dollars cheaper. I agree with amandastacys comment in the fact that going to see a movie in the theatre is just becoming less and less worth it. It's definately something I have been doing less and less of.
