Ever waited an eternity to buy movie tickets for an epic movie only to be left with the ugliest seats in the house?

The first week of a blockbuster’s release is the best time to catch it because that’s when people are all hyped up about it. There’s nothing worse than catching that much anticipated movie and not having someone to geek out with about the best scenes. Or worse, you’ll get spoiled before you get to watch it.

The easiest solution to always get the best seats is to book them online through smcinema.com for SM Malls or sureseats.com for Ayala Malls.

But how do you book tickets online ahead if you don’t have a credit card?
