style=\"padding-left: 60px;\">6. \u00a0Pay for the tickets either through a credit card, PayPal, or Fandango Gift Card or Promo Code<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s it! \u00a0You will see your purchased tickets in your Account on the Fandango app as well as on the Fandango website. \u00a0In addition, you will be mailed a confirmation email showing you bought tickets.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Any Fees?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Now, you may be wondering if there are any convenience fees attached to your purchase. \u00a0The answer is yes. \u00a0There is a $1.35 fee per adult ticket and a $1 fee for each child ticket, no matter what time of day or night you purchased your ticket for. \u00a0For example, I purchased a 5:50pm time for Inside out and received the matin\u00e9e adult price of $8.5o. \u00a0The later time ticket prices were $14. \u00a0Yet, the convenience charge was the same.<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly enough, I saw that my local theater also allows you to purchase tickets online

it to print out our tickets, using the confirmation # I saw in the app and on my confirmation email from Fandango. \u00a0It was easy and took no time at all to have 6 tickets in my hands, ready for the show.<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"  wp-image-16205 aligncenter\"

\/><\/p>\n<p>Inside Out is a very cleverly written movie, conjuring up a whole slew of emotions in the audience based on the experience of an\u00a011-year-old girl, Riley. \u00a0Riley is uprooted from her happy childhood in Minnesota to live in a big unfamiliar city of San Francisco. \u00a0As a mother, I cried more than my share of tears as I thought about my daughter if in the same situation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Some Hints to Remember<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Make sure you take the confirmation # with you. \u00a0Email it to someone else going with you in case your phone dies.<\/li>\n<li>If you forget your confirmation #, the movie theater should be able to help you as long as you have the same credit card with you that you used for your Fandango transaction.<\/li>\n<li>When you buy your tickets on Fandango, you have the option to set an appointment on your calendar &#8211; use it, put the confirmation # in the appointment, and invite others joining you so they have the number too.<\/li>\n<li>When you pick up your tickets at the digital kiosk, you will receive ALL your tickets at once. \u00a0So if someone joining you is going to be late, find another way for them to get their tickets. \u00a0I&#8217;m guessing you could go to the digital kiosk at any time to print your tickets though, even days before the movie starts &#8211; so you could get tickets to others ahead of time if need be.<\/li>\n<li>Get to the movie theater at least a half hour early to ensure your whole family can get seats together&#8230;especially on opening night (I learned the hard way! \u00a0Yes, we had to find 6 separate seats at Inside Out!)<\/li>\n<li>Visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fandango.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Fandango.com<\/a> on your PC to access the same info (and more) than you can find on your app. \u00a0Your VIP account shows you your personal movies, theaters, and purchased tickets online and in your app. \u00a0Fandango is a one-stop shop for all your needs in movie planning&#8230;even if you aren&#8217;t planning on buying tickets ahead of time.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>The Fandango App gives you the power of planning movie night with ease. \u00a0I can even see the movie times at our local Drive-In theater&#8230;which doesn&#8217;t accept Fandango tickets. \u00a0But Fandango includes these theaters to make the Fandango app your go-to resource for all things movies.<\/p>\n<p>We are all looking for heuristics (mental shortcuts that don&#8217;t take much thought) to make life easier. \u00a0I&#8217;m happy to\u00a0tell you with complete confidence that Fandango, along with Common Sense Media, is all I need to to research movies, plan movie outings, and purchase movie tickets.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img
