Inflation causes the prices of anything to rise - labour and the cost of stocking the concession. That happens with any business. It's when you make rather costly improvements you will see the price of your ticket rise even further.
I'm good friends with someone who owns and operates a movie theatre. We had a discussion a few weeks back about the costs of upgrading to digital and 3D which he hasn't done yet. If he moves in that direction his ticket prices will go up 2-3 dollars more than what he is currently chargiing. Then there's the possibility of even more on going costs if the 3D technology is tweaked.
