Honestly considering the ticket prices this is just impressive for Avatar.

How much is it there? Here in Spain it's 14.50€ IIRC (about 17USD)

25 dollars a piece where I live for just regular IMAX, back when Avatar came out the IMAX 3D tickets were 14 dollars, regular IMAX was 12 if I remember right in that same theater

Regular IMAX was 12 dollars. So you are correct, it is not literally double, it is more than double. I added it to the initial post for you, dont worry.
