This page is about the corporation; for other uses, see fandango.
Fandango is a corporation in the United States that sells film tickets over the telephone and Internet, allowing customers to make sure they have tickets and avoid lines at the theater. They are notable for their advertisements, which play before previews in most major movie-theater chains. The ads feature puppets made out of Lunch Bags, and are widely recognizable to most moviegoers.
Fandango often requires a $1.00 premium for their using its services, which consist of reserving a ticket to be printed out upon arrival at a movie theater, thereby avoiding a line and sell-outs. On top of ticket prices that in many areas eclipse $10.00, this can make movie-going an expensive proposition; still, it is difficult many times to procure tickets to movies on their opening days without using services like Fandango, arguably turning an extravagance into more of a necessity in those circumstances.
