Movies are a popular way to spend a couple of hours, it is even better when you can get in for free. Free tickets are not always possible but with the cost of a family going to the theater rising to into the realm of ridiculous, a free ticket or two at the movie theater is a nice break in the budget.
Instructions
1. Sign up for email specials from theaters in your local neighborhood or with the theater that you like to frequent. Many large theater chains now have a reward program that in return for your patronage will award you free movie tickets. Every time you buy a ticket or refreshments your reward points accrue, getting you closer to a free movie.
2. Put your name into drawings with radio stations, newspapers, local television stations and entertainment magazines to get picked to attend free screenings of new and upcoming movies. You may have to fill out questionnaires about the movie and previews, but they are usually very short and easy to fill out.
3. Pay for newspaper subscriptions ahead of time if they provide coupons and special discounts. As an incentive for their customers to pay in advance, companies have started rewarding their loyal customers with price cuts or special 2 for 1 deals at popular entertainment venues like movie theaters as well as restaurants.
4. Visit local radio station websites for drawings that can only be won by signing up online. Radio stations have tons of great stuff to give away; the winner has to be somebody, and it could be you.
5. Attend a kid's summer movie club at a theater that shows older movies. Large and small theaters are showing movies that have already come out on video on the big screen for their younger clientele. The entrance to the show is free and the concession stands are open.
