Free Movies

Last Saturday I got to go see the new movie "Megamind" with Addie at the Mall of America before it was out to the general public. It was super funny, Addie really enjoyed it and the best part was that it was free! I've also seen Iron Man 2 and Inception for free and have had tickets to a lot of major releases within the last several months. Many I have given to friends and family to use.

OK, so this takes a little bit of tracking/effort but hopefully I can give you some tips here to make it a bit easier on you.

The first thing you will want to do is set up an account thru GoFoBo. Usually when there is a screening available you will enter an RSVP code there and download your passes.

There are several different ways you can get these RSVP codes. Here is a list of sites to follow on Facebook to get RSVP codes:

Theaters at the Mall of America
Vita.mn
Cities 97
City Pages
BuzzBoMSP

The way I prefer is via Twitter. I like this better because I get twitter notifications sent right to my phone so I'll get the code right away and can enter it right away. There are only a limited amount of passes so it's important to enter it right away. So here is a list of sites I follow on twitter. You can just click on each one and you will be directed to their twitter page and then follow away!

BuzzBoMSP
Gofoborsvpcodes
MetroMixTC
Secrets of the City
Theaters at MOA
Vita.MN
MovieFone
MN Daily

Moviefone does a lot of contests where you just have to email them that you'd like to win tickets for a screening in your area which you can check regularly HERE.

The MN Daily offers some free screenings as well. Most the time you need to get a copy of the paper and bring it down to their office in exchange for passes. They will also print codes as well that you can RSVP for at the GoFoBo site.

I'd also suggest doing a search at the GoFoBo Screenings page and you'll be able to bring up a list of upcoming screenings in the area and see who the Sponsors are for that screening. That way you can get an idea of where to be looking for codes if there is a specific movie you want to see.

Well, that is all I have for now. Please e-mail me or leave a comment if you have any other places that you get free movie screenings from. I'd also be willing to help you out if there is a certain movie you'd like to see and are not sure where to try and find a code.

Oh, one last thing. These movie screenings are overbooked to ensure that they pack the theater so when you get passes I'd suggest getting there at least an hour early. Especially for those big blockbuster releases. Ash and I went to go see Inception and there were people there who were turned away for a full house.

Thank you. That is all.
