With ticket prices at the box office skyrocketing, along with the price for popcorn and soft drinks, catching the latest flick at the movie theater has become a very expensive form of entertainment. Fortunately, there are cheaper or even free ways that moviegoers can use to avoid paying these exorbitant prices for their favorite blockbuster hits.
One of the best ways to avoid paying a high ticket price just for the latest blockbuster is to acquire a pass to an advance screening. Not only do these screenings take place before the film premieres to the general public, often times you can even watch these movies for free.
Advance screenings may be private or public. The chances of being invited to a private screening are slim unless you are a studio executive, an investor, part of the cast and crew, or a movie critic. If you live relatively close to a major city and learn how to track down free passes, the odds of gaining access to public movie screenings are very much in your favor.
