LOS ANGELES, Feb. 13, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Today Atom Tickets, the first-of-its-kind mobile movie ticketing platform, announced a partnership with Larry H. Miller (LHM) Megaplex Theatres, Utah's favorite movie theatre, that will expand its availability in Utah and Nevada. To celebrate the partnership, from February 13-21, Atom users will be able to Buy One Ticket and Get One Free off their first order for a Megaplex theatre with the promo code "MEGABOGO."

Megaplex Theatres joins an impressive list of growing exhibitor partners. All Megaplex Theatres locations will be Atom-enabled by today February 13.

Atom Tickets' steadfast expansion, which continues to surpass industry expectations, is fueled by its unparalleled service that makes movie experiences faster, easier and more social than ever. With the Megaplex integration, Atom will see substantial growth in Utah and Nevada with the addition of 17 locations with nearly 200 auditoriums. Atom is revolutionizing the movie ticketing industry by helping theaters fill seats and maximize revenue with its user-friendly app that lets moviegoers buy tickets and invite friends with a few simple taps.

"We aim to give our guests the best movie experience possible. Atom Tickets will help us deliver on our mission with its user-friendly platform that makes going to the movies easier and more social," said Blake Andersen, president of Megaplex Theatres.

Megaplex is known for technology, innovation, and legendary customer service. Providing an unparalleled VIP experience for moviegoers, they were the first exhibitor in Utah to introduce luxury and heated power recliners.

"Megaplex is an incredibly popular exhibitor who understands how to give their guests an amazing entertainment experience," said Matthew Bakal, Atom Tickets co-founder and Executive Chairman. "Atom Tickets will only make that experience better and keep audiences coming back for more."

In addition to pre-ordering movie tickets, Atom's game-changing mobile app provides a VIP experience that includes bypassing lines at theaters. The intuitive platform also lets moviegoers watch trailers, read reviews and coordinate movie outings with friends while allowing each person to pay separately.

How Atom Tickets Works:
Atom Tickets re-imagines the most convenient way for users to plan a night out at the movies. The free app and website provide relevant reviews, trailers and synopses to help customers make the best decision on what to see. Moviegoers may then invite friends (via Facebook or their contact lists) to purchase their own tickets to join them. Atom offers streamlined ordering of tickets and concessions from any Android or iOS phone. At the theater, users go directly to the ushers and concession counters, where they simply scan a QR code at tablet kiosks. Paper tickets and IOUs have been replaced by Atom's innovative platform, which keeps all plans, messaging, payment and tickets in one place.
