How To Find Free Movie Tickets for Advance Screenings

May 21, 2022

While COVID nearly killed the movie theaters, there are still plenty of cinemas still open. Actually, you can still get tickets to advance screenings, or movies airing before their official release date. In fact, you can get them without paying at all. Here is how to get free movie tickets for advance screenings.

What Are Advance Screenings?

First, you may be wondering what an advance screening is. They don’t happen everywhere. Movie studios typically choose major cities in the United States (and around the world) to hold advance screenings. You might think that sounds like a red carpet event, but you don’t have to be of any specific levels of importance to attend.

All you need to know is how to find advance screening tickets and, of course, how to get them for free.

Free Movie Tickets for Advance Screenings

Advance screenings are not available for all movies and won’t be available in all cities, as mentioned above. If you are looking for free movie tickets for advance screenings, here are a few websites where you can view upcoming shows and land tickets.

Advance Screenings

This site allows you to enter your zip code or a movie you want to see. The website will then give you a list of screenings available in your area or for the title you searched. You can link your Facebook account to receive updates on upcoming screenings near you. If you know about an advance screening taking place, you can add information to the site to let other people know as well.

Gofobo

If you’re like me, you’ve never heard of Gofobo before, but it is actually a great place to land free movie tickets for advance screenings. Like many of the other sites on this list, you enter your zip code and a list of upcoming screenings will appear. You can also take the extra step to register on the site and get updates.

Fandango

You’ve probably heard of Fandango before. They have been around for a while and serve as a platform to buy movie tickets. Occasionally, they also host sales for advance screenings. You just need to be part of the Fandango VIP program and they’ll notify you when there is a screening in your area.

Lionsgate

We’ve all seen the Lionsgate logo on television and the big screen. The production company also hosts advance screenings from time to time. Just go to the website and enter your zip code to see if there are any advance screenings of Lionsgate films in your area. You can also get notifications about upcoming screenings.

Sony Screenings

Sony also has advanced movie screening tickets available. Enter your zip code and you’ll see all the upcoming Sony advance screenings nearby.

Warner Bros Screenings

Warner Brothers is another production company that has free movie tickets for advance screenings. You can search for upcoming screenings as well as sign up and get updates about advance screenings of Warner Bros. movies in your area.

Again, if you are searching for advance screenings in your area and can’t find anything, most of these occur in major cities. If you are traveling to places like Los Angeles or New York (or live there), it may be worth taking a look at these sites to find free movie tickets for advance screenings. Either way, it doesn’t hurt to try! Let us know in the comments if you’ve scored any free tickets from any of these websites.
