How to Buy Tickets for the AMC Movie Theaters

AMC theater patrons have two methods of obtaining movie tickets: they can buy them at the ticket counter of the movie theater, or they can purchase them online. Each method has its advantages. When you purchase your ticket online, you can avoid the long lines and the possibility of the tickets selling out. However, you are limited to paying with a debit or credit card. When you pay for your ticket at the ticket counter, you can also use cash or a check.
