We live in an age of constant and instantaneous communication. Which, don't get us wrong, is awesome. iPhones are awesome. Stop looking at this portfolio and go buy more iPhones.

That said, technology has also made it super easy to be a huge flake. Plans are more fluid than ever, and we're all guilty of bailing on our friends two hours beforehand, for no reason other than texting is easy and leaving the house is hard. We also all have at least one friend who is an unrepentant, infinitely annoying flake. The friend who's nearly impossible to count on, and bails on almost everything.

That's where Fandango comes in. When you buy your tickets in advance, you don’t just avoid getting sold out. You avoid getting cancelled on by your flakey friends. Because if your flakey friend flakes, they won’t just be a pain in the ass - they'll be out 15 bucks.
