$35 For A Theater Ticket?

Item: Posh Redmond theater to charge $35 a ticket/Amy Roe, Seattle Times

More Info: Would you pay $35 for a movie ticket, plus extra for popcorn? What if it guaranteed no one could kick your seat? An Australian theater chain opening in Redmond this fall is betting affluent audiences will pay three times the typical ticket price for plush, reclining seats equipped with call buttons for service, allowing them to order gourmet food, wine and cocktails from the theater's restaurant.

Question: What is the most you'd pay for a movie theater ticket?
