If you have not yet bought your movie tickets and you would like to, try visiting Fandango.com, MovieTickets.com, or various other sites.
Wow! Those statistics are crazy. I know I’ve contributed to that 51% of sales because I bought one our two (or three, or four..) tickets already, so I’m not surprised the number keeps growing. And I love the age range of the responders to the Fandango survey. Maybe that will prove some people wrong. *wink wink*
So TAers, have YOU bought your tickets yet? And what do you think of these statistics? Are you surprised to hear some of them?
