I hate standing in line so anything that speeds me into the theatre is all right in my book. A new service, Mobile Box Office (MBO), promises to do just that. How does it work?
From your mobile phone go to http://www.mbo.com - Select your movie and showtime
- Securely purchase tickets with your credit card
- You will receive a text message. Go to the link in the text message. (If you are having trouble go to http://www.mbo.com, then retrieve tickets)
- Present barcode to usher at theatre to scan.
Now isn’t that easy? There’s a video of MBO in action right here.
