Despite the fact that "home theaters" are becoming more quality and more affordable, and the choice of video programs for them is huge, the popularity of the "big screen" is still great. The effect of watching a movie in a cinema is far superior to the quality you can get at home. Therefore, it is not so easy to buy tickets for some of the sessions if they are not booked in advance. This can be done in different ways.
The easiest way to book a ticket is to come to the box office of the cinema at a convenient time for you a few hours or even days before the session and make a reservation in lively and relaxed communication with the cashier. In some cinemas, the live cashier is being replaced by ticket machines, and the more advanced ones also have a seat reservation option. Whether there are such machines in the cinema you need, you can find out by phone. However, if you really call there, then why not book seats for the desired session remotely? In this case, there will be no need for a preliminary visit to the box office, it will be enough to pick up your tickets no later than half an hour before the start of the film. In some cinemas, the times may differ from the standard thirty minutes before the show - you should check this.
Methods for pre-ordering tickets from the cashier or by phone may be available not only in the cinema itself, but also in various bureaus, which are usually located in different parts of the city. You can find out the addresses and phone numbers of such additional offices through the city information service or in telephone directories.
Of course, such a popular means of communication as the Internet could not stay away from serving moviegoers. Many cinemas either have their own websites or are served by cinema network portals. Through most of these web resources, you can online book the required number of tickets for the session you are interested in in a particular cinema in the city. The schemes used in such systems are very diverse - some of them require registration on the site, others use SMS services to send a special code, and still others offer communication with a live operator.
If the website of the cinema you are interested in does not have a booking system, there will probably be the phone numbers of the ticket offices, a help desk or a feedback form through which you can clarify the specifics of the booking procedure for this particular institution.
