POV: you check the price for Dune: Part Three and it’s $50. For one ticket. 😭
Welcome to funflation — where “going out” got repriced into a luxury. And it’s not just inflation doing it.
It’s the same playbook the airlines run — fun is being repriced, re-tiered, and resold to whoever can still afford it. Premium tier up, base tier worse, middle dissolves.
A few moves before your next night out:
🎬 AMC A-List or Regal Unlimited pays for itself if you go more often enough
🎬 Certain chains host deal days. AMC currently offers discount ticket days for members.
🎬 For concerts + sports, resale often drops below face value within 24 hours of the event
