Apple today sent out emails highlighting a new Apple Pay promotion that offers a $5 discount on tickets for the "Rocketman" movie that's out in theaters starting tomorrow.

"Rocketman" is a musical fantasy about Elton John's breakthrough years as he transitioned from piano prodigy Reginald Dwight into superstar Elton John.

The Apple Pay promo offers $5 off when purchasing two or more tickets for "Rocketman" using Apple Pay in the Fandango app or the Fandango website. Just use the promo code ROCKETMAN when checking out.

The discounted ticket deal is available through June 3rd, 2019.

I didn’t get this email, so Apple clearly respect my marketing preferences.

Knowing their position on privacy and data, I dare say Fandango gets nothing out of this beyond people maybe buying tickets through them. Customers get a discount. Who loses in this? Seems like a weird one to be angry about.
 
I like these Apple Pay discounts. But, serious question...

Why would I use Fandango when most theaters have their own ticket-ordering and rewards without the extra added Fandango fee?

With the Apple Pay discount, it's still more expensive than going directly to the theater's app (I priced it out to be sure).
