[neverusethis]

edit: i put a decimal somewhere where it shouldn't be

That's like a $1.50 less than the bargin matinee at the cheapest movie theater in my area.

Matinees here are $3.50 and student ticket discounts are available for night shows for $4.

I don't know why you guys don't believe the average is 7/ticket. They take the total revenue and divide by the number of ticket sales. You guys are just overpaying for some reason.
