And I thought Raves were rediculous!

ok, so we all know a bottle of water costs like $0.25 or something to buy in bulk at costco.. And at one point we've all complained about the $3.00 bottles at raves and how rediculous they cost... but DAMN.

I was with Adam watching 'The Day After Tomorrow' and realized bottles of water cost $3.04!!! I know it's not much more than at a rave... but damn. THAT'S EVEN BEFORE TAXES!

oh, and by the way. Those americans will take any chance they can get to get rid of us first. those damned film makers turned us into popsicles before we even knew what was going on! 'and what about the people in the north?' LIKE YOU CARE!!! bastards..

ANYTHING at movie theatres is incredibly overpriced!

trance4life · #7 (**permalink**) May 31, 04

case of water at 7-11 (for 12) is just 4$

HELLO how else are they gunna make up for charging 3 dollars less on ticket prices.

Movie theatres tend to break even with door sales. They make their profit from concession.

At least this was true 4 years ago, but back then Silvercity was only like $9.

12$ a movie sucks

becka · #11 (**permalink**) May 31, 04

its pretty easy to sneak water into a movie.

That film is getting widespread support from a lot of activists worldwide. Conclusively the major film studios are making films like this that they research will have mass appeal through various support forums. Gnn.tv

fuck it all.

Dean · #14 (**permalink**) Jun 01, 04

they probably had to jack up ticket prices cause no body would buy a $4 pop

the last time i went to a movie i was going to actually buy a drink.... then i saw it was like $3.69 for some tiny little cup of fountain pop.. i told them to go to hell

hahaha no shit, not at my parties.

And they've since LOWERED their pricing (at least down to $10something from $13.95), so concessions prices are probably going to go up.. if they haven't already.

i only bought one bottle at grand finale-- then just filled it up at the sink.. fuck spending like 20 bucks on water.. its just unbelievable!!

cheebus420 · #19 (**permalink**) Jun 01, 04

^ what's really hurting is when they turn off the sink at a venue. It's just plain dangerous.

I actually believe that.

I think they still make their money using the same tricks: Upselling at concession. For instance, those 'so-called combos' they offer don't save you money. If you take the time to break down the combos, you'd figure out that you're not saving any money at all by buying the package. for those of you who don't understand why, it's because people don't like making decisions, so they lay out a bunch of options for you.

Second step in upgrading would be the sizes they offer their foods in. like, pop corn for instance.. a Majority of people tend to stop eating their pop corn between the mid-way point of the previews and 5 minutes into the moviie. But they still try to sell tubs of popcorn or Large ass bags. I think i always get suckered into buying the larger size because they always ask when it's super busy and a million people are around, and i end up not caring and up-sizing.

I know there are some people out there who just love pop-corn and can eat 3 or 4 tubs of popcorn in a sitting, but most people will eat the same amount of popcorn regardless of the size of the container they're holding it in, leaving the rest to waste.
