I have had a AAA membership (a membership to the AAA Automobile Club) for many years but didn’t know until just recently that you can get discounts on movie tickets. For example, you can buy a 4 pack of tickets to Showcase Cinemas for only $28 (normally, tickets to Showcase Cinemas run you $10.25 per adult ticket, so it’s a savings of $13). Plus, I noticed that when you order from movietickets.com, there’s a $1 service charge per ticket which I didn’t see with the AAA 4 pack, so you may be saving an additional $4, for a total savings of $17. Not bad for a night out at the movies – and think about all of the candy and popcorn you can buy with those savings!

There are discounts for other movie theater chains, so check AAA’s website (AAA.com) to see what’s available to you in your area.

Also, if you belong to any other affiliate-type of organizations, such as AARP, or are a student, look into special discounts. I’ve heard of discounts for both seniors and students, so use your “special status” to your advantage and save some money.
