Is there a website to compare movie ticket prices?

There are many websites where you can easily see what movie showtimes are. But I’m having a harder time finding movie prices for different theaters, unless I go to their website (or Fandango, or MovieTickets.com), and click on a specific movie time and see what comes up.

It would be nice if I could somehow see movie prices along with times. I’m not going to drive an extra half hour for $1 cheaper tickets, but I might drive a few extra minutes for saving $3. It seems like there might be something that has this, but I can’t find it.

And feel free to share any other movie related money saving things. I go to the movies a lot, but I figure if I can do it for cheaper it would be nice. If you go to Alamo Drafthouse or Studio Movie Grill, there are often discounted tickets you can buy there. I think Costco has a way you can buy cheaper tickets, but I’m not a member of Costco so I’m not sure if I could get those.

Really? To save $3? How much gas mileage do you get? I bet it costs you at least ⅓ of the gas savings to drive the extra distance. Now you’ve saved 2. Extra maintenance on the car is prolly .20; now your savings is like $1.80.

IME movie tickets prices from one theatre to another vary by maybe $1.25. Today, even a minimum wage earner makes $2 every 17 minutes or so. I realize YMMV but saving less than $2 isn’t something I would waste time doing by driving extra distance; I’d just go see what I wanna see where I wanna see it.

That said, CostCo has movie passes, as gaffa clarified. I’d also recommend 2nd run theatres & matinees. We have an excellent 2nd run theatre here in Vegas (the Regency on Tropicana) that still charges just $2 per ticket ($3.50 for a 3D movie) and Tuesdays are $1 ($2.50 for 3D).
