How to Buy Movie Tickets With a PayPal Account

Movie tickets can be purchased online with a PayPal account debit card.

It is possible to buy movie tickets on the Internet or over the phone with the use of a PayPal account. Purchasing tickets in advance can be easily accomplished by PayPal users who have a PayPal debit card.

Fund PayPal Account

PayPal accounts must be funded prior to making a movie ticket purchase. PayPal accounts may be funded in several ways. Some merchants who sell online receive payments through PayPal, as do some people who work online. Those who do not receive payments via PayPal can fund their account through a deposit from their primary bank account.

Apply for PayPal Debit Card

Although a PayPal account will allow users to purchase items and services at many online merchants, movie tickets cannot be purchased with only a traditional PayPal account. Apply for a PayPal debit card at its website (see Resources). This debit card allows users to make purchases anywhere that MasterCard and Visa are accepted and will draw funds directly from the PayPal account to which it is linked.

Enter PayPal Card Information

Visit a website on the Internet that allows for purchase of advance movie tickets online using a PayPal debit card, such as Fandango and MovieTickets.com. Select the movie tickets desired, choose "Credit or Debit Card" for method of purchase and enter the PayPal debit card information.
