LOS ANGELES, June 28, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Atom Tickets,
the first-of-its-kind theatrical mobile ticketing platform and app,
is now available to moviegoers throughout Southern California (including Los Angeles, Orange and San
Diego Counties), Atlanta, and Nashville at every AMC Theatre and Regal
Cinema. To celebrate the launch, consumers will get their first
movie ticket purchased through the Atom Tickets app for free*. Atom
Tickets previously launched in select theaters across the U.S. and
Canada, and Atom Tickets will be
live nationally by the end of summer.
The new platform helps consumers check show times, quickly
and easily connect with friends, order tickets and even pre-pay for
concession items with just a few taps. Atom Tickets makes the
movie-going experience fast, easy and social – recommending movies
that customers love, enabling invitations to friends and family,
and providing the VIP experience of skipping ticket and
concessions lines.
"In partnership with industry giants like AMC Theatres and
Regal Cinemas, we're poised to further modernize the business
and customer experience of movie-going," said Matthew
Bakal, executive chairman and co-founder of Atom Tickets.
"As the first exhibition partner to launch nationwide with Atom
Tickets, we are excited to bring their innovative social and mobile
app to our theatres in Southern
California, Atlanta and
Nashville," said Amy Miles, CEO at Regal Entertainment Group.
"Regal moviegoers, along with members of our industry leading
loyalty program, the Regal Crown Club, will now have a new way to
purchase their tickets and concessions in advance."
"We are excited to bring a new level of convenience and
technological innovation to our guests," said Ameesh
Paleja, co-founder and CEO of Atom Tickets.
"Movies are most enjoyed on the big screen in theatres full of
fans," said Elizabeth Frank, AMC
Chief Content and Programming Officer. "Through the communications
features of its mobile app, Atom Tickets makes planning movie-going
outings super convenient, especially for groups. We expect this
ticketing innovation to bring more people into theatres more
often."
How it Works:
Atom Tickets re-imagines the most convenient way for users to plan
a night out at the movies. Available for free on the Apple App
Store and Google Play, the app provides relevant reviews,
trailers and synopses to help customers make the best decision on
what to see. Moviegoers may then invite friends (via Facebook
or their contact lists) to purchase their own tickets to join
them. Atom Tickets enables seamless ordering of tickets and
concessions from any Android or iOS phone. At the
theater, consumers go directly to the ushers and concession
counters, where they simply scan a QR code at tablet kiosks. Paper
tickets and IOUs have been replaced by Atom's innovative platform,
which keeps all plans, messaging, payment and tickets in one place.
