Sounds like an excellent purchase opportunity for Google. It would be a great way to push Google checkout since using Google checkout to make the purchase would be easy and filling in all of the form information is a little strange in a banner ad.

This is not Paramount selling movie tickets. Studios make the movies and the theaters, or their agents sell tickets. In this case it is MovieTickets.com. This services is only valid for less than 10,000 screens in the US, out of the over 37,000 screens (Fandango has about 19,000 screens they sell tickets for). Most rural screens do not hooked into either of these services. BTW, Steve, TicketMaster does not sell movie tickets only concet or theater tickets.
Ticket costs are surcharged $1.00 and are non refundable if you do not show-up. IF you want to see one hot movie and live in a major urban area on opening night a reserved admission, using these services is the way to go.

Seems like a halfway decent idea to me.

Let’s hope they don’t scam their customers like Fandango and their subversive rewards program…
