How it's used
Originally referring to theatrical or cinema performances, this phrase has expanded to describe any experience where the outcome exceeds the effort or money invested. It carries a sense of satisfaction that the return on investment was high. It is frequently used to justify a purchase or a long journey that initially seemed questionable.
Examples
This movie is really worth the price of admission.
Do you feel like this concert was worth the ticket price yet?

Common phrases
absolutely worth the price
Common mistake
Do not use this to describe the literal price of a physical ticket, as it is an idiomatic expression for overall value rather than a financial calculation.
