If you are a movie buff, you can buy movie tickets through Google Assistant now. To offer this service, Google, the US information technology (IT) giant has collaborated with ticketing company Fandango.  Users of the application will be able to buy movie tickets using voice commands on Google Assistant. At present BookMyShow, Paytm are the some of the companies that provide movie ticket booking facilities. With Google Assistant ticket booking service, moviegoers will have another option for booking tickets.  Earlier, Google Assistant had launched payment option in its app.  Google announced the launch of this feature for movie fans on May 4. This app also guides you in picking the right movie. 

Fandango sells movie tickets via its website and through its mobile app. Not only booking tickets, this app will also provide you additional information about films. Google Assistant will also reportedly bring up a selection of films playing at theatres located near you. You can also find who stars in the movie you may decide to watch.

Even iPhone users can download an iOS version of Google Assistant.
