Re: economics of cinema tickets

 Face value of cinema is up hugely, but there are many ways around it.  I bought some cheap travel insurance (under £7) from those Meerkats, and they give me 2 for 1 on tickets for Tuesday and Wednesday shows for the rest of the year.
I can also cash in my supermarket loyalty points for tickets if I want to go on other days.
I'm paying for the big screen experience.  I want to sit at the front during Star Wars, so that the galaxy fills my vision.  I want to see Dory in 3D, with an octopus getting thrown out the screen at me.  I can't get that experience at home, even with my wide-screen & 3D glasses.
