Fandango for BlackBerry has been out for years, but it was never included in BlackBerry App World.  Some users downloaded through a link spotted on the home screen (thank you AT&T) while others just went to the mobile website from their Berrys and downloaded it over the air.  Now you can download directly from BlackBerry App World- this way you’ll be able to have the latest update and know when a new version is released.

On a side note, the application also was updated to version 2.1.3 earlier this month (December 2nd to be exact).  There doesn’t seem to be a change log but the big news is that BlackBerry App World now carries the app! Woohoo!

Fandango for BlackBerry got a version 2.0 update earlier yesterday.  In this update we see a few new features.  For one thing, the user interface is a lot nicer as you can scroll back and forth between movies really smooth.  This helps a lot since before it wasn’t that easy to browse through recently released films and such.  Also, I noticed that you can now send a movie time right to your calendar or share to social networks feature as well.  Gotta love apps that communicate with your BlackBerry native apps.

Way to go green Fandango!  It looks like the company is going on a new strategy to get paperless with its ticketing system.  Currently they are going through testing stages of barcodes (2D) as seen above in the picture within movie theaters rather than the traditional paper tickets.  So how would this work? You get an email notification or log in to the website via mobile where the ticket checker person (whatever they’re called) would scan it off as you enter instead of having to tear up tickets for hours at a time with a half hour lunch break.  Hit the jump to check out movie theaters currently participating in this Fandango Digital Barcode System.

Before we get into the promotion, I promised myself that I would purchase my next movie tickets using the Fandango application for BlackBerry.  Just last night I went to see Book of Eli and did not think twice about purchasing them via Fandango for BlackBerry.  Now that I got that off my chest, Fandango is putting out a special promotion pushing you, the Berry users to use their BlackBerry app to purchase movie tickets.  So whats the promotion? Until March 7th, all service fees will be waived by Fandango meaning you won’t have to pay those convenience fees and so forth.

Also, Fandango did indeed update version 1.0.12, but not with any major changes you’ll see as they’re mostly bug fixes. Don’t have Fandango for BlackBerry? Point your BlackBerry Browser to Fandango.com to download absolutely free today.

Late November, we got the tip that Fandango BlackBerry application was coming soon.  Today it looks like a leak is going around for a beta version of the application.  We have no word on the beta release, just two OTA links floating around.  As a quick recap, Fandango is a service that lets you purchase tickets in advanced for the movie theater so you don’t have to wait in endless lines at the ticket booths.  After purchasing, you walk right in the theater, then walk to a Fandango machine to swipe the credit card you used and the tickets will come out all in less than a minute.  The native way of using the service was having to get on a PC or Mac to purchase the tickets but now we are extended to using our BlackBerry devices to do so.  Check out the beta over the air (OTA) links below.
