SANTA MONICA, Calif., Dec. 17, 2018 /PRNewswire/ — Atom Tickets, the social movie ticketing platform, introduces the easiest way to buy movie tickets hands-free with the new Atom Tickets skill for Amazon Alexa. Consumers can now hear what new movies are playing near them and buy tickets quickly while using just their voice. Atom is the only way movie fans can buy reserved seats through this new skill. Another unique feature of Atom’s skill is its integration with Amazon Pay, which makes purchasing a movie ticket a breeze. Alexa customers simply use the information already stored in their Amazon account to complete the transaction. After the purchase is complete, Atom sends the consumer an email with the digital movie tickets, which they can scan from their phone at the theater rather than printing the tickets at home.

This new experience will make it even easier for consumers buy movie tickets on Alexa-enabled devices.”
“Our goal is to help merchants and brands provide seamless commerce experiences,” said Patrick Gauthier, Vice President, Amazon Pay. “We’re excited to integrate Amazon Pay with the Atom Tickets skill for Alexa, making it quicker and easier for customers to skip the box office lines and buy their movie tickets using their voice.”
Here is how the Atom Tickets skill for Amazon Alexa works. After saying “Alexa, ask Atom for movie tickets” or “Alexa, ask Atom what’s playing near me,” the skill enables consumers to:
- Select Movie Format: Select movie tickets for standard or premium formats like 3D, Dolby, or IMAX movies.
- Reserve Seats: The Atom Tickets skill for Amazon Alexa is the only movie ticket skill that lets you buy tickets at theaters with reserved seating.
- Use Amazon Pay: Easily check out with your voice using Amazon Pay without reaching for a credit card. It’s simple and secure.
