Columbia, SC (WLTX) -- Who enjoys the long lines to buy tickets at the movie theater Friday or Saturday nights? With a family that has little ones that long line can seem like an eternity.

How would you like to jump that line to buy tickets?

You almost need to arrive an hour early just for the ticket line. How about buying your tickets on your cell phone or tablet & avoid that wait? I recommend getting the Fandango app.

This is available for every type of mobile device: iPhone, Android phone, Blackberry, Palm, Windows phone, and even all tablet computers. And it's just awesome. You can watch movie trailers on it, read reviews, check for movie times at any of the theaters close to you, and buy tickets to jump the line.

Simple to buy inside the app - just click on the ticket symbol and choose the movie theater pick the movie and time you want.

When you pay for it you can use your debit or credit card - then when you get to the movie theater head on inside.

There's a kiosk in there where you print your tickets. Just swipe the card you used online or on your mobile device, and it'll print those and a receipt for you.

It couldn't be any easier to buy tickets through the Fandango app, and then you can focus on the important things, like the snack bar, and enjoying the movie.
