AUSTRALIAN FILM GOERS PAYING MOST EXPENSIVE IN WESTERN WORLD

 

MOVIEGOERS

Australian consumer group Choice have branded Australian flicks among the most expensive in the Western world.

Scoffing down lollies and drinks from the cinema snack bar also sets you back a fistful of dollars, Choice says.

It found that Australian cinema-goers pay far more than those in the US and New Zealand, with a family of four shelling out around $67 for a trip to a multiplex, and individual adult tickets costing about $18.

That compares to around $A33 for a family of four at a similar cinema in New Zealand and $A38.40 in the US.

Choice spokeswoman Ingrid Just said Aussie cinemas were among the most expensive in the Western world.

But it remains unclear exactly why multiplexes here charge such high rates.

"Taking into account exchange rates, an Aussie family of four spends just over $34 more than a New Zealand family and $28 more than a US family on a trip to the flicks," Ms Just said.
