Analysts attribute the uptick in ticket prices to the rising costs of theater-worker salaries, rent, taxes, utilities and maintenance. Exhibitors don't pay anything to studios to show the films, Corcoran says; rather, they take a split of the box office receipts — about 53 percent of the tickets sold.

Believe it or not, the theater actually makes very little money off the movie itself. Borrowing movies from the studios is very expensive, and makes little profit for the theater, so almost all their income comes from sales of snacks such as popcorn and soda. They have to have some way to pay their employes and electric bills, so that is why it's so expensive.

The longer a film plays at a theater, the more the theater makes off each ticket sold.

Why are concert tickets so expensive?

Usually concert tickets are very expensive because some 'front row' tickets that you get means that you get to meet the band. When I went on ticket master to find maroon 5 tickets, the tickets were up to $600! I know pretty out of there. But when I looked at the details I saw that you actually get to meet the band backstage! That's probably why they are so expensive, I would recommend ticket master for you. Some people set up there own websites and sell there tickets twice that there supposed to be! Hope I helped ~Ejhall02
