At around eighty minutes into the film, a man, LeRoy Mason, standing in line to see Kong complains to his lady companion, "These tickets cost me twenty bucks." At presumably ten dollars per ticket, this would have been a tremendous cost in Depression-wracked 1933. By contrast, a ticket to see the 1933 New York Yankees, which featured Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig, or to this movie itself, would have been about 35 cents. OBSERVER'S NOTE: This may have been secondary sale ticket pricing. Since this was a social event that many would have wanted to attend, it would be believable that scalpers would sell tickets priced for high demand.
