cheap movie tickets


Question Posted Tuesday August 10 2010, 7:34 pm

is there a way to buy movie tickets in bulk, which will make it cheaper? if so, does it always have to be for a certain theater company like amc, which means you can't use it at non-amc theaters? i know they have silver tickets, just wondering if anyone knows anything else.

Try COSTCO or SAM'S CLUB. COSTCO in Canada has a deal with Cineplex Odeon for kids and adult 2 admissions, popcorn, drinks and candy. You can buy those in bulk.

I know that they have the same thing in the U.S. at COSTCO and possibly SAM'S CLUB too but for different U.S. theater chains. The only downside is that it's not always cheaper to so and you'll need your parents to own a business or be employee of one or a "member of the public" with a yearly membership to get access to those locations.

I'm not American and over here in Canada AMC is barely on the radar with about 10 theaters in total nationwide 5 of which are in Toronto. I'm not up on the chains but try calling locations and asking the managers about this vary question. They'll tell you.

One of the things you could do rather that works with me is to get a gift card and keep topping it off monthly or when you have money so it's always at $50.00 starting balance as that will get you 5-6 movies a month if you don't factor in candy. In effect that's sort of like having bulk tickets to anything playing at any time without expiration date on passes.

When, I have the opportunity to have an extra $100.00 to play with I load up the card with that and get 10 or so flicks out of it. That's one option. But, do talk to theater employees about deals and such as you never know what they may have and check out their loyalty cards and points programs as that earns you free or cheaper tickets first.

Also, do some research on Google or elsewhere and look for independent theaters or chains not owned by huge corporations like AMC or Loews that are either mom and pop businesses or chains that put prices down to see mainstream flicks. They exist you just have to scope them out.

Here in Canada we have Rainbow Cinemas for example which does $7.00 matinees and $5.00 Tuesdays. A lot of theaters also have student only prices and programs. Check 'em out.
