Fandango: Skip the Lines on Your Next Movie Date
Fandango lets you order movie tickets online and through their app. They’re generally easy to use but they’ve definitely have their fair share of complaints. You can find all the basic info about movies from their site/app including showtimes and features.
Plus, you can basically skip the line because you’d have the ticket on-hand when you get there. And, get your pre-sale tickets pretty easy without any hassles, either. Sometimes Fandango does a promotion giving away free movie tickets, too.
Fandango also has a VIP program where you get little bonuses if you buy tickets through their site. These little goodies aren’t anything too crazy but it’s a nice gesture especially if you’re a huge fan of a movie series. The main complaint people have seems to be their shoddy customer service often leaving some people stranded at the theater. For others, they have no problem.
Fandango also has a good mix of everything on their site for movie buffs:
- Trailers
- Movie News
- Photos & Media
- Events
They condense movie reviews from Rotten Tomatoes and Fan Ratings so you have a little better idea of what you’re getting into. Dig around each movie listing and you’ll get cast & crew, some cool features, and of course info for its showtimes or release date.
Overall, Fandango works for dinner and a movie date nights (when they actually work).
Though for some… they’ve got other things to say:
Although when you think about it: People don’t usually leave good reviews. One bad experience and people will go wild on review sites and social. Maybe this is the case? Hrm. Maybe not. These reviews do seem pretty consistent.
