Box Office Figures

After researching into the nearest cinemas to Banstead, I have found that the nearest locations that have cinemas are Epsom and Sutton. According to the Preston Ward Reigate and Banstead Health Needs Assessment 2014, 22% of under 16s live in poverty. In addition to this, the average cinema ticket in the UK has increased by more than 26 percent since 2007. Overall, tickets for a family of four total to £36.40, not including the cost of travel and snack (£50 and over). This suggests that teenagers will be less likely to be able to afford to go to the cinema as it has recently become costly, unless the teenagers themselves have part time employment which I will research further into.
