Sticker shock
I do most of the shopping so Mike remains blissfully unaware of the rather high (to us) cost of living. He got a brief glimpse today. We decided to have a date Sunday night and chose a movie and bought tickets on Friday because you need to book in advance to see a movie on the weekend.
I suggested we go to the Gold Class movie - a special theater within a theater that seats about 30 people in comfy lounge chairs and offers adult beverages, an 18 and over age limit, and tasty meal service right at your seat.
The price for two tickets is over $70AU (about $60US).
Mike asked, quite rightly, if that includes a bottle of champagne and an all you can eat buffet. No darling, that is for the seat and the movie. Snack food items are an additional charge. He is skeptical that there is any movie seat anywhere worth that price unless it comes with a massage and scantily clad hostesses.

Good God! I hope the movie was good. Nancy
Eh...not worth the $100+ US we ended up spending after buying drinks and snacks at the theater. We saw The Ugly Truth because someone at the office had recommended it to Mike. Sure it took the 'going to a restaurant' part of dinner and a movie out of the mix, but dang. The chairs were very comfy.
Go see District 9 - it's also not $100 (what is?) but definately worth a normal ticket price. Nancy
That's funny Lyn. I can definitely see Mike's thought process on what the amenities should be at that price. Pat
