Being able to buy movie tickets before arriving at the theater has become very popular in recent years. In fact, many theaters prefer that you do so ahead of time, as it guarantees that you’ll have seats, and you won’t have to wait in line when you get to the theater as well. So what apps can you use to buy movie tickets? Well here are ten of the best that the Play Store has to offer.
Ticket Counter
This app is only available in the U.A.E. so you’ll want to make note of that. But it allows you to see what movies are playing at what times, as well as buy tickets for those movies straight from the app.
MJR Digital Cinemas
MJR is a pretty popular chain of movie theaters, and you can buy your tickets straight through their app. You can also view the movies that are currently playing along with the trailer – which is always important, as you don’t want to sit through a boring 2 hour movie if you don’t have too. You can also find theaters nearby your current location.

Emagine is another popular chain of movie theaters, up there with MJR and AMC. With the Emagine Theatres app you can also buy movie tickets, as well as find theaters nearby where you are. You can also get the latest showtimes for up to a week from now. Which is a pretty unique feature.

This is an app that most of you are probably familiar with, for finding movies, as well as showtimes and even theaters nearby your current location. In addition to all of that, you can also buy movie tickets straight from the app. Making it easier once you get to the theater to get to your theater and have a seat. Or go get popcorn then have a seat.
