Anyone do this a lot?

I don't often go to movies in theater, but I intend to go tonight, and I don't

want to stand in line... and I've never bought tix online.

(I know... :/)

Is it worth it in your experience, or just a waste of money with the svc charge?

THANK YOU!

There's no point unless it's a theater where you get to choose your seats.

Why?

most theaters are sit where ever is open, most go for the seats further from the screen and the only ones left open are crappy front row seats. So if they do assigned seating, you can pick where you sit as long as it's open and no one else should sit there. My suggestion is show up early so you get good seats.

Ahhh... ok.

Fandango is the bomb!! I do it all the time.

Buy the tix online and they send you a confirmation email. You go to the theater, go to the kiosk and swipe your card. It will recognize your card from the online purchase and just print it out for you. EZ PEEZY.

Not all theaters will take Fandango though.

THANK YOU, Fisk.

Oh, i might add that i do this for my local theater which is a dine-in (and they have a liquor license) and it does let me choose my seat. Like ChoX said, not all theaters allow you to choose.

Oh nice... we have one of those, and I haven't

been in ages.

Will look into seat options... who knew?

Seats are assigned here so buying online allows me to choose my seats ahead of time, I use my phone as my ticket they scan it as I walk in & saves me time plus I have plenty of time to buy snacks & find my assigned seat. Highly recommend.

I just downloaded the app for that.
