WeChat helps you buy movie tickets with a discount, plus you choose the seats!

Living in China, most probably you are using WeChat app. It's an awesome tool to communicate and also to manage your finances. Linking your bank card to it allows you to trasfer money, top up your phone balance, hail a cab, buy plane and train tickets, purchase group discount goods, and even choose the seats for the next showing at the nearest cinema. All these treasures are hidden in a Wallet menu. If you were stopped by the language barrier before, cast you worries away! Keep reading this article. Let's try to choose the movie, venue, seat, and purchase the ticket!

Still don't have your WeChat Wallet set up? Check out our guide 'How to Set Up Wechat Payment'.


Tapping Movie Tickets, you access the partner app Wepiao, and start by selecting a movie name or a movie theater.



If you choose Film, scroll through the titles available. In our case tap Captain America 3.


Now choose the date and the movie theater.


If you began by pressing a Cinema menu, the app asks to use your current location to find the nearest venue.

After you decide on the name of the movie and the cinema, choose the exact time.


The showing times and prices differ. Make sure you choose English language 英语. If the movie name has 国语 next to it, that means the movie is in Chinese.

Then choose the seats.


Proceed to pay. All transaction are through WeChat balance, or the linked bank card. If you don't know how to link your card, please wait for the future updates, and I will teach you that.

Before you pay, you'll need to input your phone number to get the SMS with electronic ticket codes. The codes help you print out the tickets at the box office right before the movie starts.

Pay less for movie tickets, and enjoy the WeChat mobile app!
