Free Movie


This one takes some guts, but again just remember the name of the game: Confidence. If you look like you belong doing what you're doing, then you do.

Okay, first thing to do is get a look at the person TAKING the tickets. If they look like an underpaid high school kid then this is going to work like 99% of the time.

You need the name of a manager at that theater. You can either call ahead the night before and ask who's managing tonight, or if you're smart you'll do it for a week and get a good number of the manager's names. Keep 'em in your phone's notepad for easy pull.

Then you need to find out who's managing the night you're going to the movies. Whoever is, that's a name you mentally cross off the list for that night. You can find out who's managing by calling ahead or just go to the snack counter and while you're paying for your popcorn or soda, casually ask the person taking your money.

Note: Having some snack in your hand typically helps sell the illusion that you belong there. Also, how the hell do you watch a movie without popcorn?

Take your snack to the ticket taker and as he looks at you for your ticket just say "Hi, I'm friends with--" and use the name of a manager not working that night. "He told me to just tell whoever's taking tickets and you'd let me in."

Almost every time this is going to work. The kid's not getting paid enough to give a shit, and there may even be impatient ticket holders behind you at this point. You'll get ushered through.

Enjoy the movie!
