How many times have you excitedly made your way to the cinema to see some wide-screen action, only to be met with a bad ending even before the show starts? “No tickets!” And there you stand, regretting not coming in early to reserve your seat and blaming everything from the traffic for making you late to the director of the movie for releasing it in a summer-blockbusters season.
Fortunately, there is one another way to not miss out on that movie you have been waiting for since ages that does not involve coming hours before the actual movie begins. Thanks to the internet, you can simply buy a movie ticket from the comfort of your home.

Nice ProPk : Title Should be named “Ramadan Discount Package Movies Tickets “
rehnay day yeh bhi teray bus ka nhi
yaar is ummat ka kiya haal hugaya hay. i am ashamed. hum tameez hi kho bethay hain key kiya halaal hay aur kiya haraam. aur ramazan key andar haram cheezon ko promote bhi kar rahey hain . hum musalmaan hi agar kisi cheez ko haraam na samjhen tu phir musalmaan kis baat key hain ?
khudara gunah ko gunah tu samjhen. air gunah nahee chora jaata tu kam sey kam sey gunaah ko promote tu karen…
wahan HALAL movies bhi lagti hai :P
Tu kisi yahudi k sperm se tou paida nahi hua?
Cinepax and Atrium cinemas both offer e-tickets at their own websites so there is no need to go through third parties. However, Nueplex has yet to offer this service so you have either the choice of going through one of the above services or using Nueplex’s delivery service which is reasonable but not as hassle free as Cinepax and Atrium online booking.
