Movie Ticket Prices Hit Record High. Brent Lang. Itâs more expensive to go to the movies than ever before. Average ticket prices hit a new high during the second quarter of 2016, topping out at $8.73, according to the National Association of Theatre Owners, an exhibition lobbying firm. That trumps the previous record of $8.70, a pinnacle that the industry reached in the final fiscal quarter of 2015.
