    Wow. Is this really a good deal? The theaters around here price all their shows for $5 on Tuesdays (it’s been a while … I think some charge $1 extra for 3D and some don’t) and $4 on Wednesday mornings. The morning shows are tough to get to but the Tuesday price is all day. There are also dollar theaters showing recent-runs but I haven’t been to one of those in years; I’m not sure if the price is still $1 or not. I suppose no matter how you slice it, $4.50 is less than $5 but unless you’re already a member of LivingSocial and an avid movie-goer this trade is rather dubious.

    I love dollar theaters, but here in Atlanta, they’ve all pretty much dried up. I’m pretty sure there’s not a dollar theater within 15-20 miles of my home.

    And when gas is $3.50/gallon, even if the travel time is worth it, the fuel expense can quickly cancel the value of a cheaper theater.

    Still, the last time I bought one of these Fandango/Living Social offers, I screwed it up by buying a single ticket. Gotta buy both at the same time, or you forfeit the second ticket.

    This is a FANTASTIC deal! I believe they’ve offerred it before, and when they did, I took full advantage of it. Matinee movies around here (Greater Philly area) are $9.50 each and $11 for non-matinee. Easily a $10 savings for matinee or $13 savings for non-matinee. Gotta snatch these up when they come around. (There are some decent movies coming out this summer, e.g. Harry Potter, and going to a movie for $4.50 a person is a good deal to beat the heat.)

    I purchased 2 tickets for $9. My family of 4 wanted to go to a matinee. I purchased 4 tickets in one transaction and they took $9 off of my total. If I had walked up to the box office window, I would have paid $8 per ticket for a total of $32. By using the Living Social Deal I paid $8 per ticket + $1.25 service charge per ticket for a total of $28 at checkout. Add to this the $9 I already paid and the total cost was $37. This is $5 more than the box office price. Not a good deal. Did I do something wrong?
