My next question is when you check out and it asks for the billing info (Zip Code) do you put your zip code or the zip code for the theater you're going to?

For billing you have to use you zip code or else you charge will not go true.

You might be able to avoid the service charge altogether...my local theatre (Regal Cinemas) uses it and they have a machine for Fandango pick-ups. Well, the machine is also a automated ticket machine. There is never a line and it works perfectly.
I avoid the service charge by going directly to the machine and buying my tickets. If I feel the show might sell out, then I will go over early, buy my tickets and then run errands and go back when the show is getting ready to get seated.

Also, if you go to an AMC theatre and have a MovieWatcher card (their free member program), the service charge there is waived when you buy your tickets online (movietickets).

I use Fandango all the time, Tommy. Love it -- never had an issue at all with it.

If you ever go to AMC, you can use MovieTickets.com and get your tickets there in the same way you do on Fandango.

Not sure if Fandango is like this too (with their cinema chains), but with movietickets, if you have a rewards cards with AMC (I do) they waive the service charge when you order online.

edit: Crap! Ninja'd. Musta been posting at the same time.

Used it a few times and never had any problems. Not a huge fan of the service charge, but it's worth it to order it around mid-day opening night if I'm pretty confident the movie I'm going to might sell out.
