Awful company
May 10, 2019

I had a gift card. I went on their website to purchase tickets for a movie I was going to see that day. It took a very long time to process and when it finally stopped, the screen said "Sorry, this transaction was unsuccessful". Frustrated, I went back to try to purchase again only to find that the site had taken money off my gift card despite the transaction being "unsuccessful". I immediately called and all i got was a recorded message saying to email them for customer service then the line went dead. I immediately emailed and received a response saying that they would get back to me within 72 hours which was not helpful for the movie i was going to see that day. Went to the movie and just paid. When I heard back from them the next day, they pretty much said that the transaction was successful so I was abel to use the tickets purchased. When asked how was I supposed to know that the "Sorry, this transaction was unsuccessful" actually meant that i had indeed purchased tickets and i would like a refund, they told me I would have to either go back to the store where I got the gift card or ask the person who gave it to me to look into it if it was a gift. Absolutely HORRIBLE business and customer service. I emailed them back again with the screenshot of the screen saying the transaction did not go through and requesting a new gift card to make the situation right. I have not heard from them since. Terrible, terrible way to run a business.

The website is a synonym for feces
May 4, 2019

I logged into the website having to create a password which requires me to run through 11 different kinds of hoops for creating an account. Ease up guys you are not a bank. No need to annoy your customers by making the password creation so hard. To make matters worse is your selection of ppl. Children under the age of 6 is not allowed and anyone under 12 is a child and anyone over 62 is senior. It is so confusing i feel someone from 5 th grade made your website. Then to top it all i paid using my credit card and payment got charged but neither did i get the tickets or an email but just "an oops something went wrong look below for the deets" stop setting up messages like you are douchebag millennial and work on your annoying jigsaw website interface.

Movietickets.com gave a disclaimer online that stated before buying my ticket that I could make changes to my order so long as the movie had not played yet. Now I get an email back saying no changes to my order can be made and purchase I made was final.
I tried calling their 1 *******457 number and all it does is give me a recording saying to email them my concern. There is no human connection. This company is a scam.
Please don't support this fraudulent company people
Save your selves from the trouble it puts people through over movie tickets

Junk
April 28, 2019

A huge scam! This is a joke, do yourself a favor and don't buy the gift card. Not user friendly and almost impossible to use! I'd rather have a root canal!

Don't buy these "gift" cards
April 23, 2019

I received a couple of these $25 "gift" cards for Easter. First thing you need to know is if you try and click on the link on the home page to register it will say "Currently Unavailable". There is a work around for this. You have to pull up a movie, add a ticket, and in the "Sign In" tab you can click the "Create My Account" button to actually register. Why this worked and the other didn't is beyond my understanding. Anyway I selected my theatre (AMC), and selected the number of tickets I wanted to purchase (2). What I don't get is this "Convenience Fees" that is added on to the price. I understand that if you a specific seat you'd pay extra to get said specific seat, but here's the thing... our AMC theatre doesn't do assigned seating! Why and the heck should someone have to pay an extra $1.70 per ticket if there is no assigned seating! Now if you are a Stubs Member this "Convenience Fee" is waived, but if you aren't than you are forced to pay extra money. Oh and speaking of extra money, being a Stubs Member I can see movies on Tuesdays for $5. Not if you buy ticket through movietickets.com. Even if you put in you Stubs card number, all it does is remove the "Convenience Fees", you still have to pay full price for the tickets. Now it did let me use the gift card, but I had to use $17.38 out of $25 and now there will not be enough for another ticket later now. What a rip off.

What's the use?
April 21, 2019

I received gift cards for Christmas for my kids, every time I tell them to pick a movie so we can go I end up paying because the website is not available to set up account, how convenient. It's April now and I have tried several times. You can't use them at the register so I see this whole experience as a rip off! All the way around, can't use the two $25 tickets and end up paying when was expecting too. RIP OFF! To top it off you have to rate at least one star and they don't even rate that!

Scam, scam, scam! Run away!
April 19, 2019

I purchased a $25 gift card and selected 2 tickets for Friday the 19th at 10pm, later when I checked my receipt it said for Thursday the 18th at 10pm! That was when I made the purchase, not the selected movies time! When I reached out and told therm about the error they say there is nothing they can do! What bs! This place is a scam!

SCAM
March 24, 2019

Like everyone else on here, I'm telling you this unethical "business" is a scam. They recognize I have a $25 gift card, but refuse to take it. I called multiple times and finally someone answered after a 30min hold. He recognized I had a gift card and said "I'm sorry we aren't taking it. I don't know what's wrong. I guess try later." When I asked if he could give me a new gift card code to replace mine he simply said, "no."
He admitted that it wasn't fair. He admitted that they took my money and now won't take the card. No refund, no replacement. These owners are trash. It's straight up theft. Look at the unanimous 1 star reviews! Why isn't this thing getting shut down?!

Lengthy process.
March 23, 2019

This has to be the worst gift card that someone has ever given me. There are so many steps just to buy a movie ticket by the time you get through all the steps the seat is not available. It's very cumbersome to use discount codes is very cumbersome to use your stubs card this is just a very frustrating deal is very cumbersome to use this form of payment with another form of payment I am so unhappy with this.

Awful customer experience; rude customer service
March 19, 2019

As a family with young kids, we made a mistake in a movie selection using a gift card and immediately called MovieTickets to get their help. The rep so was rude and not helpful in the least. She hung up on us. All FANDANGO for us going forward. Stay clear of movietickets.com!

RIP OFF!
February 24, 2019

I spent over an hour trying to log on and redeem my card. I swear they have made it difficult if not impossible to redeem a gift card. At least I wasn't able to enter a credit card like so many others and get ripped off even more. This place should be shut down.

Terrible
February 12, 2019

I received 4 $25 gift certificates for Christmas and have not been able to use them. Either the seats won't load to choose or it times out. Called customer service and the woman I spoke with was probably the rudest customer service rep I've ever spoken to. Still sitting here holding $100 in unusable gift cards...

SCAM!
February 10, 2019

They add on a fee and ask you for a credit card to cover the extra but when you do the gift card fails and they charage you the full amount. Called customer service and they laughed at me called me a liar and hung up on me. They won't refund you the extra charges. I have sent a complaint to consumer affairs, thy have so many from this company. Do not buy from them. Third party scam artists,

Pop-up Surcharge
January 22, 2019

Do not buy a gift card for anyone from movietickets.com. The recipient has to pay a surcharge! "Hey girl, here's a gift I got for you and surprise, you have to pay some!" How stupid is that? I mean, it's gifting 101. And no where on the card does it say you will be charged a surcharge. And guess what? Redeeming it online is the only way to redeem. No way out of the surcharge. So sketchy!

THIS WEBSITE IS TOTAL GARBAGE! There should really be 0 stars out of 5. The password requirements alone make you want to throw your computer through the $#*!ing wall. Hate the site. I will never waste my time EVER using.
If you didn't see it before, programmers of website - your work is garbage.
