Waiting in line for movie tickets is still the worst part of going to the
movies (unless you are going to see The Bounty Hunter). With so many
mobile phone movie apps, it ’s easy to find what’s playing at nearby
theaters and even purchase tickets right from your mobile phone, but
then you still have to get a paper ticket from the dispenser or the
ticket agent. But your ticket could easily be delivered to your mobile
phone via a 2D barcode.

Today, Fandango is launching a mobile ticket program in eight cities
which lets moviegoers finally go paperless. Your ticket is delivered to
your mobile phone via an SMS or MMS message linked to a 2D
barcode, which the ticket-takers can scan. Movie theaters need to
equip their attendees with special scanners, which is why it is only
available in a few markets. [Techcrunch]
