I saw Star Trek today and was given a little treat as I walked into the theater.

I used Fandango. I bought the tickets online, and then printed them using Fandango’s machine stationed in the movie theater lobby. Instead of getting the usual ticket and receipt, I was given this little extra:

It was a ticket for Watchmen! Not only is Watchmen out of theaters, but the date the movie was intended to be shown was March 9th. If you look closely, on the bottom of each stub, you’ll see a printing date of May 29th — way past the showing date.

So the question is: Did Fandango’s machine erroneously print me an extra ticket, leading to this little tidbit? Or did I pay for a ticket I never picked up?

The world may never know.
