The magic of the movies shouldn't start with standing in a queue.
With Ster-Kinekor's upgraded website and new SK App, booking your next cinema outing is designed to be faster and easier, from choosing your movie and seats to adding snacks and applying your loyalty benefits. The new app is the one with the light blue icon and white SK logo, available through the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.
Whether you're planning date night, a family outing or a solo blockbuster session, here's how to book movie tickets online at Ster-Kinekor.
You don't have to register to make an online booking. You can check out without logging in, but creating a profile makes repeat bookings quicker because Ster-Kinekor can save basic information and your preferences.
If you're already an SK Club member, signing in also makes it easier to access your loyalty benefits. You can also book through the new SK App, which keeps your cinema experience right on your phone.
Head to Now Showing and browse the films currently playing. Once you've found your movie, select your preferred cinema, date and showtime.
You can also choose from available cinema formats. Depending on the venue and film, options can include 2D, 3D, IMAX and Cine Prestige, giving you the freedom to match the experience to the occasion. Take a look at the different types of cinematic experiences Ster-Kinekor cinemas offer now.
Not sure which cinema is closest? Use the Ster-Kinekor cinema locator to find your nearest venue.
Once you've chosen your screening, you'll be taken to the seating map.
This is where online booking really earns its keep. Instead of arriving and hoping your preferred seats are still available, you can select your exact seats before you get to the cinema. For an inclusive experience, Ster-Kinekor cinemas also provide designated wheelchair seating at applicable venues.
If you're an SK Club member, make sure you enter your membership details during the booking process. Ster-Kinekor says members need to enter their SK Club number at the start of the booking to make sure their points and applicable benefits are correctly applied.
SK Club members can earn points on qualifying movie and catering purchases, with benefits including Half-Price Tuesdays. The Tuesday benefit applies to 2D, 3D, IMAX and Cine Prestige screenings, subject to the programme's terms.
You can also link eligible loyalty cards and benefits such as Discovery Vitality to your Ster-Kinekor profile.
Movie tickets are only half the experience. During your online booking, you can add snacks and drinks to your order, helping you skip another queue when you arrive. Available options can vary by cinema.
If you're an SK Subscription Club member, your subscription also includes 20% off regular combos. Current subscription options include Fan Club, with four 2D or 3D tickets per month, and MORvies Club, offering unlimited 2D or 3D movie tickets within the plan's terms.
Once you've selected your movie, seats, extras and applicable benefits, complete the secure online payment process.
And there's no need to print your tickets. Ster-Kinekor has moved to a paperless ticketing system, with movie, snack and 3D-glasses tickets sent to your phone via WhatsApp after booking. Simply present the QR code on your phone when you arrive.
Even better, online and app bookings currently carry no booking fee.
That's the whole process. Choose your movie, pick your cinema and format, lock in your seats, add your loyalty details and snacks, pay, then head to the cinema with your QR code ready.
It's quicker, more convenient and means you can spend less time queueing and more time doing what you actually came for: watching the movie.
