Careem has introduced an easy and convenient way for cinema lovers in Dubai to browse for and purchase movie tickets – directly through its app.

By selecting the ‘Tickets and Passes’ icon on Careem, customers can search for, select, and purchase tickets for movies at all Dubai Reel Cinemas venues, including The Dubai Mall, Dubai Marina Mall and The Springs Souk.

The company also has plans to extend the feature to other cinema providers across the UAE.

Customers can view trailers and Rotten Tomatoes’ ratings for movies, including the latest blockbusters with a few taps.

Film buffs can book two movies through the app in July to enter a raffle for a chance to win prizes, including an iPhone 14.

Ali Sinai, senior director of Partnerships at Careem, commented: “We’re thrilled to expand our ‘Tickets and Passes’ service to offer customers in Dubai a simple and convenient way to search for and buy movie tickets. Booking cinema tickets through Careem saves the hassle of navigating multiple websites or apps before deciding on a movie to watch in the cinema.

“Our platform offers trailers, reviews, and locations and timings for different venues all in one place, making the whole movie ticket-purchasing process super seamless from start to finish. We’re excited to simplify life for our customers in yet another way.”

Careem partners with Tikety

Careem launched its ‘Tickets and Passes’ service in September 2022 by partnering with online events marketplace, Tikety, to provide customers with easy access to UAE events. Since then, customers have used Careem to search for, purchase, and manage tickets and bookings for different activities across the UAE, including Museum of the Future, Louvre Abu Dhabi, yacht rentals, and live concerts.

Tikety is the latest partner to be added to the app. It already has partnerships with Swapp to offer customers access to car rental services, JustLife for home cleaning, and Washmen for laundry services.

To book tickets…

To search for and purchase movie tickets, customers can download the Careem app from the App Store or Google Play, and select the ‘Tickets and Passes’ tile on the home page.

The company recently revealed a new brand identity as the Middle East region’s leading ‘everything app’ with over 12 services currently available in Dubai.
