You Can Now Buy Fandango Movie Tickets on TikTok. Here’s How It Works

The in-app feature will let you go from watching movie reels to choosing your seats without leaving TikTok.

There’s a new way to buy movie tickets: on TikTok. The popular social media app announced Thursday that it’s partnering with Fandango to allow users to purchase movie tickets in the app. The integration is powered by TikTok Spotlight, an in-app feature that shows TikTok creators’ content related to movies and shows.

TikTok’s findings show that nearly half of the app’s users in the US have discovered a new movie through the app, and 36% were inspired to buy a ticket. That’s why TikTok and Fandango partnered on selling movie tickets.

Here’s how you’ll be able to purchase tickets and what else to know about the partnership.

How to get movie tickets on TikTok

TikTok and Fandango are launching the feature with Disney’s Tron: Ares, which debuts Oct. 10.

You’ll see a Get Tickets button on TikTok’s movie-related content, where you can choose seats and buy tickets in the phone app.

It’s still unclear which movies will be available for purchase on TikTok, which countries will let you buy Fandango movie tickets through the app and whether there are age restrictions. CNET reached out to TikTok, but did not receive an immediate response.

What a ticket vendor partnership means for a US-only TikTok

The TikTok-Fandango partnership announcement comes a month after rumors that a US-only TikTok could launch Sept. 5. US users could be required to migrate to the new app, but there may be a long grace period.

TikTok hasn’t confirmed or denied the rumor, and that raises questions about the potential impact on a ticket-vendor partnership with Fandango.
