Your Questions About Fandango

Nagesh answers:

(m)

Fandangos is a style of flamenco music and dance, probably derived from the jota[citation needed]. Philologists link it to the ancient Roman erotic dance known as the cordax (called iconici motus by the poet Horace and the playwright Plautus). The satires of Juvenal make specific mention of the testarum crepitus (clicking of castanets). In its earlier Greek expression, finger cymbals were used.

The fandango form probably has more derivations than any other in flamenco.

The fandangos grandes (big fandangos) are normally danced by couples, which start out slowly with gradually increasing tempo. This is the form from which many others are derived.

The fandanguillos (little fandangos) are livelier more festive derivations of fandangos. Some regions of Spain have developed their own style of fandangos, such as Huelva (fandangos de Huelva) and Málaga (fandangos de Málaga, or Verdiales).

The rhythm is essentially the same as for bulerias and soleares.

Fandango is also a term used by British and Australian tourists visiting numerous countries in South America, used to express appreciation eg. Of a wonderful view or a fantastic steak

FANDANGO PURCHASE POLICY
Last Revised: November 14, 2006

Our goal at Fandango is to make your movie-going experience as easy and efficient as possible. Our Purchase Policy is designed to provide you with the information you need to ensure a smooth transaction and trouble-free retrieval of your tickets once you get to the theatre. Please take a minute to read the following:

No Refunds or Exchanges
In accordance with our Terms of Use, Fandango does not offer refunds or exchanges of tickets purchased on the Fandango Web site or via phone (for example, from 1-800-FANDANGO, which is not available in Canada). In addition, tickets purchased through Fandango may be subject to a non-refundable per-ticket Convenience Charge. Before purchasing your tickets we urge you to confirm the title, time and location of the movie you wish to see.

At the time of your order, Fandango will place an order for your tickets in the theater’s ticketing system, reducing the number of seats available for the chosen show time. While this allows us to provide our customers with the clear benefit of guaranteed seats, it prevents Fandango and our theater partners from reselling tickets in the event that you do not attend your chosen show time.

If you cannot attend a show time for which you have purchased tickets, you may contact the appropriate theatre to inquire about their policy on refunds and exchanges. We strongly recommend that you contact the theater’s management prior to your show time, as they may not issue refunds or provide exchanges after show time. Any refund or exchange is at the discretion of theatre management and can only be conducted at the theater box office where you retrieve the tickets you purchased through Fandango.

Sorry kiddo

Go to http://www.fandango.com.
Enter your zip code.
Select a theater near you, or select a movie.
Then pick your show time and follow the instructions to buy online.
There’s a surcharge of about $2.
Print out your ticket. At the theater, go to customer service. They’ll scan your ticket and give you a normal movie ticket in exchange. Or, you can just bring your credit card and go to the machine to pick up your tickets when you get to the movies.
You can also just use it to find show times and buy your tickets in the theater like people did before Moviefone and its competitors.

None of the online movie ticket places work for all theaters. They usually let you find showtimes everywhere, but favor the theaters they have deals with. You can only buy movies from theaters they have deals with. If you don’t find your favorite theater on fandango, try these:
http://www.movietickets.com or
http://www.moviefone.com (this one is the original, but now AOL owns it)
