At the end of a long day on campus, many students want to recline and relax. Sometimes that means scrolling on your phone or hanging out with friends, but for some it means catching the latest movie at the theater.
One of the perks of being an NIU student is being close to AMC Market Square 10, located at 2160 Sycamore Road. Another is AMC’s student discount. The discount is always available, making it a reliable way for students to save money while enjoying a night out.
To get this deal, students must buy their tickets in person and show their OneCard ID. It is important to remember this discount only applies to the price of a standard ticket, and does not apply to special format showings such as Dolby Cinema or IMAX.
It’s often mistaken that all discounts, including the student discount, are available for online purchases. To ensure you receive the discount, it is best to buy your tickets directly from the box office.
While the student discount is a great option, AMC offers several other ways for people to save on their next trip to the movies. The most notable is by taking advantage of the discount matinee pricing. Every day before 4 p.m., movie tickets are discounted by 20% for all guests. This is a great way to see a movie on a budget, especially with a flexible class schedule.
With affordable ticket prices, students may be interested in upcoming releases. For fans of classic horror, the final chapter of the “Conjuring” saga, “The Conjuring: Last Rites,” is said to haunt audiences. Meanwhile, for those who prefer epic fantasy and sci-fi, the highly anticipated “Avatar: Fire and Ash” is set to come out Dec. 19, bringing viewers right back to Pandora.
The rest of the year is packed with other great releases. For modern horror fans, they can look forward to “Black Phone 2,” releasing on Oct. 17, while musical lovers can anticipate the second installment of the “Wicked” franchise on Nov. 21. And for those who enjoy mystery, the next Benoit Blanc film, “Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery,” is set to hit theaters on Nov.26.
With various discounts available, AMC Market Square 10 remains a top choice for NIU students looking for a fun and affordable escape from academic life.
