Buying movie tickets is easy. Well, yes buying movie tickets at the theater is a cinch, you just watch your money disappear and take your ticket stub.

Saving Money On Movie Tickets
But how do you actually save money on movie tickets? For starters, resist the urge to use Fandango and MovieTickets.com. Yes they are convenient, but with that convenience comes extra convenience fees. Paying full price at the theater is also a scare worthy of Wes Craven. Movie tickets can cost upwards of $9.00 for an adult ticket, particularly if you attend a nicely designed and popular theater such as Rave Motion Pictures. Children's fare is discounted and can sometimes be as low as 5 or 6 dollars.

The easiest way to save money on movie tickets, and the one way that's sure to work, is to see your favorite movie at a Matinée price. For most movie theaters if you see a film before 5:00 P.M. then you can get a special Matinée price, possibly as low as $3.50, depending on where you live.

Other Ways To Save
These other ways to save money on movie tickets will not always work, but are worth a try. Some companies have corporate programs with major movie theaters and may be able to offer you benefits in the form of cheaper movie tickets. Some movie theaters may offer tickets in batches of twenty-five or fifty at a bulk discount. This is particularly helpful if you see a lot of movies. The NASE (National Association for the Self Employed) also offers various membership benefits including movie tickets. Other associations like credit unions, organizations and schools also offer cheap movie tickets. Students usually get a discounted price, as do credit union workers. Check and see if you qualify with your institution. There are also websites that offer movie coupons such as MovieCoupons.com, DealOfDay.com and CouponCabin.com. Finally, if you're a senior citizen don't forget to brag about your age and get a long awaited discount on new movies!
