Comcast Xfinity Rolls Out Movie Ticket Ordering by Voice With Fandango

Comcast Xfinity customers can find local showtimes and order movie tickets on TV using their X1 voice remote via a partnership with Fandango, said the companies Wednesday. The feature launched Wednesday with Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom; more movies will be added during the year, Comcast and Xfinity said. Customers have to watch a trailer for the movie and will receive an on-screen notification prompting them to say, “Get tickets” into their voice remote -- or press the info button on the remote -- to initiate the online ticket-buying process, and then they’ll be able to review a list of showtimes at nearby theaters, said the companies. Customers can opt to send the local showtimes to their mobile phone to complete the purchase via Fandango’s mobile app or website. Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom generally arrives in theaters June 22.
