How much are movie tickets (and how do you get them for free)?
Right now, the average cost of a movie ticket in the U.S. is about $16.08, up from previous years. Prices can climb even higher depending on your theater or if you opt for IMAX, 3D, or premium formats. With Fetch, though, you don’t pay a dime: simply redeem your points and watch the total drop to $0.
When can you buy movie tickets in advance?
Depends on the movie! Many blockbusters go on sale weeks before release. On average, you can expect 5-7 weeks of lead time for most theatrical runs. When you’re using a Fetch gift card, just grab your tickets as soon as they drop.
