Thanks!

Then you need to download the app on your phone and wait for the card to come so you can use it.

to use it though. So you might want to try downloading the app on your phone first before you throw $10 at it.

Could be a glitch or that they didn't submit their showings for this weekend in time for Movie Pass to list them on the app. I've seen a couple times when you click on a theater and get the message that Movie Pass can't find showings.

Those issues always seem to be resolved later on (at least the next day) from my experience, and if there still is an error, you can report that to MP and pay out of pocket, submit your receipt and they may pay you back (I've heard they usually do that reimbursement, but I've never done it personally).

When Movie Pass isn't supporting a theater, I don't find it listed in the app at all.

BTW, I see a theater now has 70mm tickets for Murder on the Orient Express on sale, any idea if those will be supported by MP or instead not allowed as a "premium format"? For what it's worth, while I did see 70mm surcharges on Hateful Eight, Kong: Skull Island, and Dunkirk, at least right now, Fandango has the same price for that as regular showings.

Again, if you have a theater that supports e-tickets in the app, you don't need to wait for the card to arrive. You can get an e-ticket immediately and enjoy your first month of service.

ArrestedDevelopment · 10-27-2017, 11:58 PM

Finally signed up. Let's see how long it takes to get my card.

I still got to see my movie, imagine I'll still be able to see Death Day tomorrow and It on Sunday as well. Might be returning to university in January, should get as much use out of this card as I can before then.

It worked fine for me today after issues last week with the "updates"

What if you don't own a cell phone?

Cellphone is required to use this.

It even says before signing up that you need an Android or iPhone.

Yeah, the GPS location is required to track that your at the theater and within 100 yards.

Monterey Jack · 10-28-2017, 03:09 AM

No cheap movies for me.

whotony · 10-28-2017, 03:10 AM

Alternatively you could use a tablet that has data and location services.

Monterey Jack · 10-28-2017, 03:12 AM

Don't have one of those, either.

steve_dave · 10-28-2017, 03:13 AM

You need a smartphone to check in to theaters that don't support etickets.

You could use a tablet to get an eticket and pick it up at the theater.

Check in requires you be 100 yards of the theater. The card is a prepaid Mastercard but it
can't be added to Apple Pay. You use the card to pay for the ticket and you can earn rewards from the theater.

Check in loads the amount the theater reports to Movie Pass onto the card. It is possible that price changes aren't reported. Price goes down, you don't worry about the loss. Price goes up, you have to pay first, then submit for reimbursement.

Eticket either loads a QR code under the E-ticket section of the app and/or provides a confirmation number to pick up the ticket. You do not need the card and you can use this service immediately upon sign up. There is no need to worry about pricing as the ticket is already paid for.

One movie a day: 12am to 11:59pm and just standard showings.

Destinys Memory · 10-28-2017, 03:24 AM

I feel like people bring up e-ticketing too often, and it's not great especially when new people are asking questions. They see "e-ticketing" and assume it's like Fandango. According to MP's site, the only chains that support e-ticketing are Goodrich Quality Theaters, Studio Movie Grill, and MJR Theatres. If you're not near one of those (not many are), you need to wait for your card.

Monterey Jack · 10-28-2017, 03:29 AM

It's all too complicated for me.

whotony · 10-28-2017, 03:36 AM

It’s actually very simple.
You just need a smart phones or tablet.
