 Today's podcast takes a look at the changes in tickets over the years - both in price and uniqueness (and anti-counterfeiting)...I explore most aspects of the tickets, and talk about where I think it's headed.

Ticket Prices:
\n1972 -- $5.75 for a packet, under $8 per day to see most everything
\n1982 -- $11 per day
\n1992 -- $33 per day
\n2002 -- $48 per day
\n2012 -- $85 per day
\n

For reference, Disney's operating income from Walt Disney World looks something like this:
\n1972 - $150 million
\n1982 - $110 million
\n1992 - $258 million
\n2002 - $350 million
\n2012 - $475 million
\n

And here is the inflation rate over the time period:
\n72 - 82: 130%
\n82 - 92: 45%
\n92-02: 28%
\n02-12: 28%
\n

Overall inflation rate between 1972-2012: 450%
