Shiiiit. Hopefully they bring back a subscription plan that covers this stuff soon. Most of the local theaters are foreign/arthouse/70mm, and now that I have my card it's looking like MoviePass pretty much only supports current run movies.
So, any reason why I can't select a movie time on the app and then buy it for the next day at the theater and then go back the next time and get a 2nd ticket to go with my wife? Seems like that should work to me, no?
well the entire purpose of the app is to collect data on consumer trends. they gain nothing by supporting art house theaters.
with that said, there's a ton of art house in NYC that accept it which is cool
It's the easy way for people with no morals to scam the system!
My card arrived!!! Aug 16-Sept 21.
Has anyone seen any theater with E-ticketing? None of the theaters within a 25 mile radius support it for me.
Don't fret. Mine has been "Card Shipped" for over a week, switched to "Card Processing" yesterday, but my card is getting delivered today.
How do you know its being delivered? They sent you a update?

Yeah, the real immoral person scamming the system, possibly bringing the whole system down for the rest of us, is the person who is getting a ticket every day for a movie he doesn't watch, just for reward points.I don't see the big deal or how he's "scamming the system." He's still buying only one ticket per day in this scenario. Seems pretty harmless to me.
They dropped that restriction.Because you can't see the same movie twice.

no the real scamming people are the ones who order a ticket through the app and then take the card to the mcdonalds next door for lunch instead of watching a movie.
does that even work? haha

say what say what
They still check in this day and age?Damn. I was going to go at lunch to buy tickets for my girlfriend and myself for this evening but I don't think the theater with the open seats at good times has ticket kiosks and I'm guessing they won't let me buy a ticket with a card that doesn't have my name on it.

My apologies if this has already been asked, but can I use this on fathom events
I plan to see a studio ghibili movie on Sunday at a regal theater
Will that work?
What about other events like boxing that are $20 a ticket?

Probably not, but if it shows up in the app, you're good.
They're specifically excluded but I wouldn't be shocked if Costanza-types made it work
Awwww
I can see why for the sports and what not, but for the special movies like the studio ghibili ones...I don't see why it shouldn't work. Tickets are normally $12.25 (for standard movies) at my local regal theater and at that same theater they are selling the studio ghibili tickets for $12.50...a $0.25 mark up
I would hope movie pass would cover it
Going once a day is a feature of the service. Giving your ticket to someone else is against the terms of service, but that has nothing to do with morality, the fact that someone is scamming the system in a way that directly harms it and thus harms all of the people who follow the rules.Nah, the people actually scamming the system are the people not buying the movie ticket they selected in the app like that dude who bought the Pokemon movie tickets. Going once a day is a feature of the service. I am allotted one ticket a day, nothing wrong with giving away that ticket to someone else and keeping the benefits of rewards.
Finally got my card. Anyone try combining this with a rewards program like Regal Crown Card?

Hey I said I was sorry. I really did feel bad after I found out it was illegal. Sorry for not fully knowing how the system worked exactly cause all I got was a card and the app which just showed movies.Nah, the people actually scamming the system are the people not buying the movie ticket they selected in the app like that dude who bought the Pokemon movie tickets.

Now I didn't get the slip of paper with instructions cause family threw that away.
And I'm pretty sure there's at least one person who was buying tickets just for rewards and *never* giving them to anyone else or using them.
Got an email that my card has been shipped. Oh snap!
