We have had heard from numerous people across the country that there has been some ticket fraud when buying a ticket for An American Carol this past weekend. Please check your ticket. If you were in fact one of those people that were "mistakenly" sold a ticket for another movie please fill out the form below. Hold on to your ticket so we can have proof.
If you have noticed other irregularities with the theatres in your area please let us know in the comment section below. For instance, Rated R film rating (when in fact we are rated PG-13), posters not being up, not being listed on the marquee, image or focus problems, sound issues, etc.
Please email us a picture of your ticket stub to fraud@americancarol.com
We are investigating.
I hope they sue everyone who committed this fraud!
Wow, is the Left that desperate they would try to stop people from seeing a movie??
Apparently so. Truth has never been their friend.
Too bad I already threw mine away from Friday. Poop.
Interesting. The theatre I was in was at 80% capacity for the showing. Makes me wonder becaus ethe figures were lower than I expected.
I went to an 8:40 pm showing Sat. night.
The theatre holds about 120 persons.....there were no more than 12 people inside.
3/4 through 2 people walked out.
I thought the movie had multiple funny parts but was, similiar to most of the lefty movies, was trying to hard to prove it’s point and became “preachy.”
I did not feel cheated out of my 10 bucks though.
people saw the movie, the box office takes for the movie were downplayed.
Damn! I tossed mine out after watching it on the weekend. Anyone else have theirs?
I saw the last show at a popular theater at 9:40 PM on Saturday night. 7 other people came to the film. It wasn’t very funny. I only chuckled a few times and I like the Naked Gun movies and Airplane. I was certain I would love this film but most of the funny lines I saw on the TV ads. It’s a bad film.
Here's the deal, though. They could print American Carol on the ticket, but that doesn't necessarily mean it was recorded on the computers as An American Carol, right? Could they be doing that? Actually, I saw it on Fri. night at 6:30, full price, and there were quite a few people there, for a 6:30 show and it wasn't even at matinee prices. I was a little surprized that it came in at #9.
I believe it is not disenfranchisement, but perhaps fraud against the distributors or producers of the movie.
Yes they would. They have done it with “Path To 9/11”. The documentary “Blocking The Path To 9/11” is revealing the fraud from within Disney/ABC about not re-airing or releasing that movie on DVD even 2 years after it was aired initially as a mini-series on ABC.
Don’t be silly, Conservatives can’t be disenfranchised we control everything.
Just got in the door, back from seeing the movie. Didn’t keep the stubs. Really enjoyed the movie, though.
Not stopping them from seeing the movie, but registering their $$ for another movie.
They are trying to keep the American Carol take down so it looks like a bust.
The theaters could be “shorting” the moviemaker to keep down the count for purposes of not paying and to keep count low as to popularity. But it’s probably the money.
didn’t happen here in nw austin...our tickets clearly said “american carol” and pg-13
we live in a really conservative area though, so I wouldn’t expect them to pull something like that here...
I didn’t bother to read what our tickets said but husband did say that he had been told over the phone that it was $5 admission only to be charged $6 each when we got there.
I didn’t care about the extra dollar till now. Now I wonder what movie we really paid for and what movie got to count us as their viewers.
