AMC ticket alerts
When do AMC tickets go on sale?
There is no schedule. AMC puts each film on sale on its own date, usually a few weeks before opening day, and nothing announces it. One minute you cannot buy a seat, the next you can. If you want opening night, you want to be there for it.
Newvies is a free app that sends you a push notification when tickets go on sale for a film you follow.

Tickets are on sale. Get seats for opening night.
How Newvies works
- 1
Follow what you want to see
A film, or the actor, director or studio behind it. Follow a person and every film they turn up in comes with them, so you do not have to know one exists to be told about it.
- 2
Newvies watches AMC for you
No page to keep refreshing, no date to remember, nothing to set up per film. It keeps looking so you can forget about it.
- 3
You get a push when tickets go on sale
Sent as it happens rather than held for your daily alert time. This is the one alert where tomorrow morning is too late.
What Newvies sends you
- A push when tickets go on sale for any film you follow, so you get first pick of the seats instead of the front row on opening night.
- Alerts for re-releases too, so an anniversary run or an event week does not slip past you. Nothing markets these, which is what makes them easy to miss.
- A buy link on the film page that takes you straight to AMC showtimes, and it stays up while the film is still playing.

Frequently asked questions
When do AMC tickets usually go on sale?
There is no fixed schedule. Most films go on sale a few weeks before opening day, though a major tentpole can go on sale months ahead and a smaller release much closer in. The studio and the chain agree the date between them and it is not published anywhere.
Is there an app that notifies you when AMC tickets go on sale?
Yes. Newvies is a free movie app for iPhone and Android that sends you a push notification when tickets go on sale for a film you follow. Follow a film, or the actor, director or studio behind it, and the alert comes with it.
Does AMC announce when tickets go on sale?
Not film by film. A studio sometimes announces a presale for a big title, and that is the exception. For everything else there is no date to look up.
Why does a film show showtimes I cannot buy?
AMC lists showtimes for some films before they go on sale, with prices and a purchase link attached. Its site greys those out as "Available Soon" and the purchase page never reaches seat selection. A film can sit like that for weeks. Newvies is not fooled by it, so an alert from Newvies means you can buy.
Do re-releases and anniversary screenings work the same way?
Yes, and they are easier to miss because nothing markets them. Follow the film and Newvies alerts you when tickets go on sale for its return to cinemas, the same as for a new release.
Is Newvies affiliated with AMC?
No. Newvies is an independent movie release tracker, not endorsed by or connected to AMC Theatres.
