With the premiere of “Avengers: Endgame” now less than two weeks away, it seems the perfect time for Google to partner up with some movie ticket purchasing platforms. So that is exactly what happened. With the biggest movie of the year upon us, it has never been easier to buy tickets to the movies.<\/p>\n

Google adds feature to iOS and Android that enables you to buy movie tickets directly from a search<\/h2>\n

\"Cinema<\/p>\n

Google has partnered with a few movie ticket booking sites and platforms to offer you tickets from within a Google search. According to Inc42<\/a> these partners include BookMyShow, Paytm<\/strong>, and INOX<\/strong> so you can now book tickets to your local cinema as an endpoint to a number of different search queries.<\/p>\n

Thanks to the change, you can now make searches like \u201cmovies\u201d or \u201ccinema showtimes\u201d and Google will show you a new widget. The cinema widget will show you local theaters, movies, and showtimes and you\u2019ll be able to select the movie you want to see, the cinema where you want to go and see it, and then the showtime you\u2019re interested in.<\/p>\n

\"buy<\/p>\n

From there, you\u2019ll be presented with the new option to buy tickets. If you\u2019re able to buy the tickets through one of Google\u2019s new partnerships, you\u2019ll be able to buy the tickets directly from the widget.<\/strong> If not, you\u2019ll be given the option to buy the tickets online at the cinema\u2019s website. At the moment, it looks like users won\u2019t have a choice when it comes to the platform they\u2019ll buy the tickets from. Google makes that choice rather than presenting a list of possible outlets.<\/p>\n

\r\n <\/span>\r\n <\/div>\r\n
\r\n \r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/a>\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n

You can also access the widget by searching for particular movie titles. If, for example, you searched for “Hellboy,” you\u2019d open the special widget for movie search results. Scrolling across and tapping Showtimes<\/strong>\u00a0would take you to the new widget where you could buy tickets to a showing at a local cinema.<\/p>\n

\"movie<\/p>\n

Other cool features include a number of handy filters<\/strong> for narrowing down the type of movie, theater, or even screen you\u2019re looking for. You can also search for films based on critic rating and language. A particularly useful filter, if you\u2019re not searching for a specific movie, is the genre filter. If you\u2019re merely looking for a chance to get down to the cinema and see something on the big screen, you can search for a particular genre of movie and then see what films are available in that genre, where they\u2019re on, and what time they\u2019re showing.<\/p>\n

All in all, the new feature is a little basic, but it does make it easier for you to buy movie tickets from your phone. There still doesn\u2019t seem to be much scope, however, for buying tickets more than a couple of days in advance. This means if you\u2019re looking to buy your “Avengers” tickets early, this isn\u2019t the best way to do it.<\/p>\n
