Some things that make life a little bit more difficult
1. Having to push open a heavy glass door when your arms are full of things
2. Running through the rain in suede stilettos
3. Someone inviting you to a party and you have no plans but all you wanna do is nuah at home so you desperately try to think of an excuse on the spot *destined to be

Something that makes life that little bit more easier
An iPhone app that takes away the hassle of ever having to take your place in snaking lines of people to buy movie tickets, then getting to the counter and finding the movie you wanted is sold out.

Well yeah, ten years ago maybe.
But totally possible today. And it’s about time someone did this too.

I mean if you have apps to shoot green pigs with some birds, why not a more functional app on your phone!

And who other than GSC?

I’m not gonna explain what Golden Screen Cinemas is because I think every Malaysian knows them. If you’re Malaysian and don’t know I refuse to talk to you wtf.

With Rachel and Suresh at GSC’s iPhone app launch at GSC Signature in Gardens.

I’m Press! Accurate cos I’m flat as a board HAHAHA.

Representatives from GSC, Maybank and Paypal officially launching the app.

Bumped into my aunty Gaik Lian there too!

The GSC Mobile App (iPhone) is quite straightforward.

Already told Wombeh to download it. Every time we think of watching a movie he gets all overly kan cheong and rushes us to the cinema just to buy tickets and then we have to hang around for a few hours until the movie starts or we go home and come out again -_-

But this app cuts out all the time wasting waiting!

Anyway the app works for all iOS devices version 4.0 and above so you can use it for iPhone, iPod touch and iPads too. Just search for GSC under App Store and download it for free!

Tap on it and you’ll see this. The first tab is Promotions where you can see all the latest GSC or movie’s promotions.

Next tab is Cinemas! You can purchase tickets from all GSC cinemas with E-Payment facility with the GSC Mobile App (iPhone). See here for a complete list!

Ok this here’s the best part.

To buy movie tickets, just go to the Cinemas’s tab or the FasTicket tab. I started at the FasTicket tab cos it’s easier. Can just select which cinema, what date and what movie at one shot.

Then pick a time. It’ll tell you what hall here too.

Then you have to fill in your details. (you know my email address now! Fan mail is totally welcome)

Here you also have to indicate whether you’re gonna be paying by Maybank2u.com or PayPal which are the two payment options available for now.

Ah shucks even iPhone apps think I look young.
Ok yes they will tell you if the movie is rated 18 plus.

Then select how many seats you wanna buy. Maximum per transaction is 6 tickets. But you can conduct however many transactions you want as long as you have enough money in your PayPal/ m2u account.

Then choose where you wanna sit! Very crucial if you don’t want a crick in your neck two hours later. This is subject to availability of seats upon point of purchase of course. Red means not available already.

Then you’re done! The app will bring you to either the m2u or PayPal page (whichever you’re going with). You will need to login to your account to make the purchase.
After that you should receive a 2D barcode ticket!

Should look something like this. Like the code you scan to add people on BBM. Don’t simply scan this code ok I googled imaged it wtf.

You won’t need a paper ticket anymore. Environmentally friendly leh. Just show the code to the GSC staff to scan at the cinema checkpoint when you go for your movie! Last I heard, they are progressively rolling out the barcode scanners nationwide in GSC cinemas for the 2D barcode ticket and the GSC SelfPrint tickets introduced recently.

Oh ya – if you always collect your tickets from GSC’s box office counters with the confirmation ID from your online GSC E-Payment purchases and would like to continue doing so, you can still use the confirmation ID displayed on your 2D Barcode Ticket page to collect your tickets from the box office counters!

If you can’t find your 2D Barcode ticket, just click on the History tab – it will be saved there after your movie ticket purchase.

Damn useful! No more wasting time in lines! Also I get to look cool when I flash my phone to get in HAHAHAHA.

They’re also planning to come up with an Android version later this year. Oh and if you are a m2u mobile user – you can get your booking fee waived for the first 100,000 tickets purchased till 10 July or whichever comes first on the GSC Mobile App (iPhone). Go to your App Store now! For more info, go to www.gsc.com.my/gscmobileapp Or you can ask me! I’m an expert now wtf.
