How To Get Free Movie Tickets: Look for promoters

Step 3: Look for promoters

Be on the lookout for film promoters outside your local theater, where they try to sign people up to be movie screeners. They are the pushy people holding colorful flyers who are trying to get your attention as you enter the theater, so don’t ignore them!

Theaters in shopping malls are good places to find studio representatives looking for test screeners.

Step 4: Scan newspapers

Scan the arts and entertainment sections of your local newspapers, both daily and weekly, for ads regarding test screeners. This is where you’ll find news of “sneak previews” as well; you’ll have to pay for one movie, but you’ll get the sneak peek free.

Step 5: Listen to the radio

Listen to the radio; major stations often receive tickets to give away, especially for long-awaited blockbusters.

Become a film critic by writing for a small paper or website. Even if you don’t like the idea of having to write reviews, think of the free movies!

Step 7: Get a job at a theater

Get a job at a movie theater. Now you’re on the inside—sit back and enjoy!

Rocky Balboa was supposed to end with Rocky and Adrian walking out of the arena holding hands, but test audiences and the film crew decided it was too sad and went with the original ending.

That would've been sweeet if E.T. cashed in at the end of the flick. I might have even watched the thing then.

I've seen test screenings before, all you have to do is stay after the movie and fill out a questionnaire. Plus you get some say so in the film when it is released! Democratic Editing.
