Like the other local guides have already posted: Both.It is reserved seating (which means the seats recline), so purchasing on line ahead of show allows you to pick the seats you want or pass on a particular show because all the good seats are sold. Also some theaters have order ahead concessions online, that (at some locations), will be brought to your seat. When you order online and use/have a smart phone your ticket is in the phone and scanned, no waiting to buy the ticket in what maybe a long line. Fandango is the way to go for online purchasing. Or buy tickets at the window, but be prepared for a longer wait because there is extra time taken for every purchaser to pick their seats.
You can do both
Either
Both, but I don't like buying them at the counter with this style of seating.
Either way works
Either, but they have reserved seats. Earlier you buy, more seats to chose from.
It depends on the movie. If it's a new, popular movie and prime time, you better purchase ahead.
You may purchase ahead of time or at the location
You can pick tickets for a future show at either the theater or online. You can also buy the day of at the theater. Either way, you have to pick seats.
