"With Mobile Box Office™, you can purchase and receive movie tickets via your mobile phone. Imagine the convenience of buying your tickets anytime, anywhere from the palm of your hand. Then skip the box office, forget the printer, and go straight to the usher. The usher scans the ticket from your phone and you are in!! MBO is proud to be launching at Emagine Theaters as they always seek to provide you the best experience in theater entertainment. That is why they are the first in offering you the convenience of MBO™."
You need a mobile phone with a color screen and it helps to live in Detroit, which is where the theater is. Unfortunately, at this time, don't bother trying this with your Pocket PC. The site doesn't recognize the device as a phone but as a PC, so it doesn't work. :? Perhaps if one of you lives in the area you can contact them and help them with the Pocket PC/Smartphone browser strings so it will work with Windows Mobile.
