Free Movie Pass Tickets
From LoveToKnow Movies
Looking for free movie pass tickets? I don't blame you! It's becoming much more expensive to watch a movie in a conventional theater these days, especially when you considering the relatively inexpensive prospect of watching movies that are new to DVD or, better still, when you can download free movies online or watch free movies online.
At the same time, nothing beats the big screen, big sound experience of heading out to the local multiplex and catching the latest Hollywood blockbuster, especially ones with big explosions and incredible special effects. Thirsting for free movie pass tickets? Well, we here at Movies] know where they dish out free movie tickets. Read on and find out.
Free Movie Pass Tickets
Free movie pass tickets are actually more common than most people think. The only thing is that you have to be a little more creative, a little more persistent, and a lot more resourceful than the average movie-goer. Not all free movie pass tickets are completely free, however, and they may not be available for every movie you want to watch. It can be challenging to find free screenings of Bollywood or hentai movies, for example.
At the same time, it can sometimes be easier to acquire free movie pass tickets to lesser-known independent films, particularly if you know someone that can get you a pass into film festivals like Sundance and Cannes.
Where To Get Free Movie Pass Tickets
There are several ways to get your hands on free movie pass tickets, saving yourself the ten dollars or more many box offices are charging these days. Here are just a few strategies that you may want to consider.
- Advance Screenings: If you live in or near a major city, you should definitely keep an eye out in your local newspapers and magazines for any upcoming screenings. Some newspapers hold contests or giveaways wherein they may have more than a hundred seats to give away! The same can be said about college newspapers and other publications, as their film societies sometimes have access to advance screenings.
- Note: You can even sometimes find information about advance movie screenings on the official movie webpages themselves. When you see a movie trailer, you can oftentimes find the official movie website address near the end. Go to that site and see if they have information about screenings. This was how I got free movie tickets to Little Miss Sunshine.
- Movie Reviews: In exchange for a brief review of a movie, some smaller media outlets may be willing to provide you with free movie pass tickets. I personally have done this for a publication or two and their requirements are typically pretty minimal.
- Friends and Family: Employees of movie theaters and film studios can sometimes get free movie pass tickets, not only for themselves, but also for a guest. Although the company may have a policy against it, if your friend's friend (for example) works at a theater, they may be able to get you tickets for free or for a reduced rate.
Free Isn't Always Better
While it may sound very appealing to be able to watch your favorite film without having to pay a single penny, free movie pass tickets may not always be the best option out there. If you go to openly available advance screenings, for example, you will surely be joined by a full auditorium of movie enthusiasts, meaning that you will have to arrive at the movie theater well ahead of time. Also remember that just because you have a free movie pass to an advance screening, it does necessarily guarantee you a seat! Movie studios often give out more passes than seats.
Because you are attending an advance screening, there may also be a possibility that the event was sponsored by a company. This may result in free gifts in addition to the free movie pass ticket, but it may also result in additional troubles. They may confiscate any camera (including camera phones) beforehand, a process that does not normally take place at a movie theater. They may require you to fill out a questionnaire or survey at the end.
All this said, a free movie is a free movie, so you can't exactly complain about the price of admission.
