  3. fromash2phoenix answered: They are definitely excessive, but if people didn’t buy them that would probably be more effective than a lawsuit.

    Stupid lawsuit. Concession prices...can’t be considered price-gouging. Nobody is forcing...
  7. offwithhisbutt answered: Of course. That’s why you bring a backpack full of snacks!
  8. commanderchody answered: I think so, here in Colombia, a 3D film is something that of what a matinee costs on a tuesday at midday
  9. imadop answered: Yes! The prices are ridiculous. HOWEVER, I can watch a movie without buying concessions! Suiing is not a good option! Just RIDICULOUS!
  10. hel-dc answered: Yes. What they charge vs what the food costs is RIDICULOUS!
  11. lizziebelle answered: They are rather excessive, but I understand that’s where they need to make their profit because they don’t make it on ticket sales.

  25. morecourtney answered: They could offer a better way to afford the price gauges but why would they? When money is number one
  26. misterandre answered: My hero! Matter-of-fact, our hero!!!
  27. headinthclouds answered: ask the local owners
  28. nicegirlbigadventure answered: Yes they are excessive, but if you don’t like the prices, don’t buy the product.
  29. sweatinthewater answered: definietly, you shouldn’t spend more on a medium popcorn than your movie. It’s ridiculous! Heaven forbid you want a drink, there goes $25.
