In Technopolis we compare our entrance fees with other attractions  by
calculating the price per length of stay.
This means that we take the entrance price and divide it by the time (in
hours) of an average visit resulting in a 'cost per hour of fun'.
We did this locally (for Flanders), but it would be interesting to compare
this with other countries and relate it to the big mac.

best regards,

Many colleagues say they compare their ticket prices to those of cinemas,
theme parks and Big Mac. Do you happen to have any compilation of such
statistics, like, e.g. any data on Big Mac Indexes (ticket price/local price
of Big Mac)?? Do you know anyone who has made this kind of comparison? Do
you know any existing compilation?
