So you can have a cheeseburger, Nachos with cheese, popcorn, hotdog, pizza and a pop for the same price as a popcorn, pop and crappy candy combo in a Calgary theatre.... nice!

Yeah on the reddit thread I'd stole that from there was a lot of talk about how the Falcons determined that they would attract more people and make more money by setting prices at a level that would encourage people to spend more time at the stadium. High prices just encourage eating and drinking beforehand with minimal spending at the venue.

Man, that's a gorgeous stadium. A Falcons game is now on my bucket list.

I know the steel company that worked on that Stadium nearly run themselves out of business as a result of doing that project. Lots of issues with that roof, and the drainage, and leaking.

I like them going this way to bring concession prices in line with what other places in their market charge. I don't know how many people go thru a Costco in a day, but I can't imagine Costco is using their concessions as a loss leader. I would hazard to guess that on a Sunday for NFL football the potential volume to be moved is massive if people feel that they are receiving fair value for their money.
