Dish Network and Fandango just made an announcement. 

If you haven’t heard of Fandango previously, Fandango is a website/service that allows you to buy movie tickets, from almost ANY movie theatre in the US, online.  It is a great way to bypass lines and guarantee that a movie is available.

If you have Dish Network, you can go to channel 100 and order movie tickets just by using your remote.  This is similar to the new iPhone application that also allows you to purchase movie tickets.

Tune your dish tv to channel 100 and preview all the movies playing in theatres near you.  You can get movie information and previews through dish network and Fandango without actually purchasing tickets.  Tickets are ordered using a credit card.  So don’t worry about somebody sneaking in and ordering 1000 tickets to a remake of Water World.

Just bring the credit card that you used to buy the tickets with you to the theatre.  Then show it to the box office or swipe it one of the ticket kiosks (in most theatres).  Your real tickets will be printed and you just saved yourself some worry and time.
