M-tix @21cineplex

It has been a year passed since I had a M-tix.
As an avid cinema go-ers, I thought that was a good decision.
I didn't longer use the BCA card BOGO promotion, (Is it still available?) so that's mean that I bought the ticket with the price at it is.
I hate the waiting line, especially when I want to watch a blockbuster movies.
So I got myself going to M-Tix locket and registering.

The process itself is quite simple.
1. Go to the nearest XXI with M-tix facility and register yourself. The minimum first deposit is 150k IDR. Actually I don't think that as a deposit, because I could use those value immediately for purchasing tickets.
The greatest thing about m-tix is the fact that it is actually free. There is no administration fee.
2. Go to M-tix Homepage and login with your mobile number and password registered.
3. Choose the movie or the studio.
4. Choose the date, playtime and the number of tickets.
5. By default, XXI will choose the recommendation seat(s). You have 15 sec to accept or deny this option.
Or, you could choose you own seat with 90 sec time limit.
Tips: if you choose to open the m-tix with your mobile phone (not the full site), M-tix will use the default option, you can't choose your seat. I recommend you to open the full site even tough you open the M-Tix homepage with your mobile.
6. Click OK, then wait for a moment to complete the purchase.
7. Transaction complete: A window will be opened with your code to order detail and a SMS will be send to your mobile.
8. Use the code to obtain your ticket at the M-Tix locket in XXI.

Usually the best seats are provided for M-tix user (and of course VIP row).
Of course the number of seats are limited. At the past, it is usually two rows. But at the last two movies, it has been four rows or more, depend into the screen size. Larger studio tend to provide more rows.
Tips: if you are a regular movie go-ers, it is very useful to know which row is the VIP row (based on my experience, it is E or F). The next time you order by M-tix, just choose the nearest row.

Also, there is some time limit to purchased tickets.
In regular seasons, M-tix user could use their login at 7am-11am of the day.
( in the last couple times, I found that I could order my tickets at 6.30 am, so I guess it was no longer 7 am, but in the website, it is still stated 7 am) *14/09/2012
Except for weekend, M-tix user could use it for advanced tickets.
Why 7am-11am? Because the conventional lockets at the theatre open at 11 am.
If there are remaining number of seats available, the 21cineplex could sell it to non M-tix users.
I think that's fair enough.

For a big movies, such as Harry Potter series, M-tix users have advantage to buy advances ticket before the conventional lockets are opened.
The only disadvantage of M-tix is that not all the theatres are supported. Most of XXIs are supported, but not all of them. 21s aren't supported tough. Simply check at www.21cineplex.com

So what do you think? Just go your nearest XXI (of course,check first if it support M-tix or not) and registered your self as a M-Tix users.
