15 Shocking Examples of What Inflation Did to Us

Price of a Movie Ticket

Price in 1960: 75 cents

Price today: $13.69

The average price of a movie ticket in 1960 was 75 cents. This rate was cheap enough to get people interested in the latest flicks from the motion picture industry, which was booming in the 1960s. Adjusted for inflation in 2018, that’s about $6.34 per ticket. However, moviegoers 13 years and up today pay $13.69 at AMC, and children get to watch their favorite flicks for $10.69.
