John Bendall owner of Re/Max Classic Group gives you tips on saving money on summer movie outings.

Summer is in full swing and the kids have been out of school for several of weeks now.  The novelty of sleeping late and playing outside are wearing off and cries of “I’m bored” are becoming more and more frequent (how many days until the first day of school?!?)  A trip to the movies can be expensive boredom relief.  The following are a couple of tips to bring the cost down.

- AAA  Members of the auto club are entitled to a variety of discounts on hotels, theme parks and movie tickets. If you’re willing to wait until two weeks after a movie has premiered, you can save up to 40%.

- Warehouse Clubs. Costco it is offers five Regal Entertainment tickets for $37.50. They can used for any movie at any time and never expire.

- Theater deals and discounts. A number of chains now offer club cards. Many theatre Web sites also offer bulk rates to people buying large numbers of tickets. Some theaters even run free movies on various days during the summer.

- Check online. Consider checking out eBay, people often use the online auction house to offload extra tickets for upcoming shows at deeply discounted rates. You can also buy bargain priced movie-ticket books from web sites such as Entertainment.com and Eversave.com.

So beat the heat and enjoy a show without breaking the bank!
