Fandango wants to send your family to see Despicable Me 2

Jul 1, 2013 | 157 comments

I love Fandango… I have purchased dozens and dozens of tickets via their website over the years – its a pretty standard thing in NYC – hundreds of people try to see a movie on opening weekend and there is only room for about 140 people in any given place maybe 300 if you’re lucky… but really going to the movies in NYC is an event – you first have to buy the tickets (for me thats where Fandango comes in)… then you have to get to the movie and wait… and wait – because you want good seats right? how about the standard arrive to the movie before time is now up to an hour and change before a mega movie and just around an hour for your standard popcorn flick.

It used to be you needed to get there 2 hours early to buy your tickets then wait – thankfully Fandango solved that problem – If you havent heard of Fandango – I bet you’ve seen their commercials its the great paper bag puppets.

If you don’t like the idea of buying your tickets before you get to the show (I’m not sure why I’m writing that sentence because then you most likely don’t read blogs) but you still could use their website for great things like Showtimes, Reviews, and Trailers. Fandango is one of my most used apps.

Its great to distract a small child with the coming attractions for some kids movie about to come out – like…. Despicable Me 2!

This will be a 24 hour giveaway starting ending July 3rd at 1am (winner will receive gift cards to Fandango to purchase tickets for Despicable Me 2) actual prize is gift cards valued at $100!

How to win it… Contest ends 12:59am EST. July 3rd, 2013.

Free tickets means more money to spend on popcorn, etc. Besides, Despicable Me was an unexpected surprise with distinctive animation and a fun story.

We’d love to win this prize because my six year old has been waiting two years for it to come out. He was 4 when he heard they were making a sequel and the only way we could make clear to him how long it would take for them to finish it was to say he’d be 6 when it came out.. He’s been waiting a long time for this 🙂
