Do you take tickets from halfcosttix.com or halfticket.com?
No. We've received notification that several of our guests have attempted to retrieve tickets that were purchased from websites halfcosttix.com and halfticket.com. These websites are not legitimate AMC partners and unfortunately AMC cannot honor confirmation receipts or other purchase evidence from these sites to retrieve tickets for guests. Guests falling victim to these sites will likely have print-from-home confirmation receipts with a series of numbers that are unrecognizable by AMC's point-of-sale. Please always use AMCtheatres.com as your source for the best AMC offers available.
