Score $5 Movie Tickets TODAY ONLY

Dear readers of idaconcpts.com,

I just got a tip from Groupon that they have a $30 for 6 movie tickets offer (that’s  just $5/ticket!).

But wait…it gets better.

These are premium movie tickets, which means they’re good for IMAX, first runs, etc.

(Note: IMAX tickets in some cities cost more than the $10 voucher, so you’ll have to pay the difference. You can’t use more than one voucher to pay for one ticket. Each voucher goes toward the purchase price of one ticket.)

Since this is technically a local deal, the landing page has been primarily designed for the local market who gets the daily email, but these tickets are redeemable nationwide!

Act fast, tell a friend and get them because this offers is only valid this day (11/2/10).

Aloha from Hawaii,
