Fandango released a beta version of their Android application last month and has steadily been improving it with recent updates. It now appears the app is ready for primetime because Fandango will be waiving all service fees for ticket purchases through March 7, 2010. The company normally has a convenience charge of $1 per ticket, but users can purchase tickets for free for the next few months.

All while your device’s GPS feature finds the theaters closest to you and the movies playing at them. And when you’re ready to buy, it’s as simple as, well, 1-2 with our super-quick purchasing that secures your tickets fast and drama-free. Enjoy the show!

@zlander I used to work at a movie theatre years ago when fandango started, and you still needed to stand in line to print tix. Fan just reserves the spot. Not sure if this has changed though.
Haha, awesome. My iPhone using friend just said, what?! That’s not fair. Lol
Wow..u guys are really complaining about the $1 sur-charge? Have been under a rock since the internet was released…u pay the extra dollar to avoid the lines, and make sure the movie you want to see isn’t sold out…(avatar in imax sold out every show in lincoln square for the first 3 weeks of its release)
Ha, neither did I until I checked. Yes I also like Flixster better. I especially like the dvds browsing which I use to update my netflix queue.
lol… didn’t even know I could buy tix online with it..
@ben I wasn’t aware… I only use it for trailers and showtimes..
I am still perplexed as to why one cannot purchase a ticket when they arrive at the theater. I used the Fandago app in Beta and it was slow. I deleted it, installed Flixter and never looked back. All I need to know is what movies are playing and the times. I’ll get the ticket when I get there.
@usman I just pulled up flixster, looks like they charge a fee of $2 per ticket.
I used the app a month ago to buy tix, worked perfectly. Hopefully if a ton of people use it now they will consider permanently dropping the extra charge.
@Nortison They should make their money off advertising… I checked out the app when it first came out, but when I found out about the convenience fee, I uninstalled it. Flixster works perfectly for my needs.
