How to Buy Movie Tickets
From LoveToKnow Buy
There's nothing worse than arriving at the theater for the latest blockbuster only to find a very long line or discover it's sold-out. That's why buying movie tickets online is becoming increasingly popular. No more lines, no more screaming kids, no more sold-out signs. Just buy your movie ticket and enjoy.
How To Buy Movie Tickets Online
1. Begin with a movie ticket website such as Fandango or MovieTickets.com. Just enter your zip code to see what movies are playing near you. You can even specify how many miles you are willing to travel to see the film.
Alternately, you can search by movie title, choose from a list of movies, and sometimes search by ratings, actors or directors. This varies depending on which website you use to buy movie tickets.
2. Choose your movie, theater and showtime. Choose a show several days in the future to ensure availability and be sure to note whether price cuts (matinee shows, senior or student discounts) apply. Most sites automatically add a nominal service charge.
3. Enter your payment details. Next, enter your account number and expiration date of a credit or debit card.
4. Get your tickets! Pick them up at the theater's box office, or some theaters allow you to print your tickets at home. Bring the credit card you used to purchase them for verification purposes.
5. Enjoy the movie!

Other Options
Does getting movie tickets the high-tech way seem a little over the top? Unfortunately you don't have many other options. To avoid long lines and possible sell-outs, your best bet is to call your theater and find out about advance ticket sales. Sometimes you can reserve tickets several days before the shows, other times only a few hours. Go to the theater early and get your tickets, then to out for dinner until the movie begins. When it's showtime, you can strut past the line waiters and get the best seat in the house.
