Your cell phone is now your movie ticket

Waiting in long lines to buy movie tickets can be annoying. Even worse, everyone around can listen as you ask for one ticket for “Phat Girlz“.

Well, now a new service called Mobile Box Office or MBO will save you the embarrassment and the wait at the long lines. You simply pruchase your movie tickets on your mobile phone, and MBO will send you a link via a text message. You can now walk past all the lines, and go to the usher that scans the barcode on your Mobile Phone Screen, which MBO has sent to your phone via that link in the text message.

MBO was developed by a company called MobilRelay which teamed up with Emagine Entertainment. For now, Emagine Theatres(in Michigan) are the only theaters that you can purchase movie tickets by using MBO.
