Key dates at a glance

• Official theatrical release: Friday, 21 November 2025.

Where to buy tickets first

1) Fandango

Fandango has a dedicated page for Wicked: For Good with standard tickets, format upgrades, and rotating offers. As of 8 October 2025, promos include a 3D discount code, a collector poster pack, and prize entries tied to ticket purchases. Check the offer fine print before you buy, since some deals are date or format limited.

2) Theater chains

• AMC Theatres: Select locations promote early Dolby Cinema showings and a giveaway item for guests around 19 November. Availability and items vary by location.
  
• IMAX, 3D, and premium large format: The film is listed in premium formats across chains. Seat maps can fill fast for opening weekend, so book early if you want center rows. Use your theater’s app to filter by format.
  

3) Amazon Prime early screenings

Prime members can purchase tickets to special early screenings on 17 November, four days before wide release. Amazon routes buyers through Fandango when the allotment opens. Seats are limited and cities vary. If you want this, set alerts and be ready to purchase once the sale goes live.

Step-by-step: how to lock good seats

1. Pick your date. Opening day crowds are lively, but late matinees on weekdays often cost less and have better seat choice.
   
2. Choose your format. If you want Dolby or IMAX, search those first before standard screens.
   
3. Use the seat map. Aim for two thirds back, middle columns. Avoid front three rows and far sides.
   
4. Check offers. Look for codes, bundles, and member perks in the Fandango or chain app before checkout.
   
5. Pay with rewards. Use your chain’s loyalty points, or a card with movie cash back.
   
6. Set reminders. Add your showtime to a calendar and enable venue notifications for schedule changes.
   

What about premiere and special events

A small number of charity auctions list premiere tickets for 17 November in New York City. These are special events and are not regular showings. Packages can include swag and red carpet access. If you bid, read the conditions and pickup rules. These items are rare and can get expensive.

Prices and ways to save

Movie ticket prices vary by city, format, and time of day. Here are smart ways to trim costs:

• Go off-peak. Weekday matinees can be several dollars less than Friday night shows.
  
• Use bundles. Fandango sometimes offers a poster pack or a code that offsets a format upgrade. Do the math. If the bundle adds value you want, great. If not, skip it.
  
• Member deals. Most chains offer a free tier with lower fees and occasional promo days.
  
• Gift cards. Look for discounted theater or Fandango gift cards at warehouse clubs.
  

Avoiding common mistakes

• Do not mix up movie and musical. “Wicked: For Good” tickets are for the 2025 film. “Wicked” tickets sold by Broadway and touring venues are for the live stage show. If you want Broadway, buy from the Gershwin Theatre box office or the official musical website to avoid extra fees. If you want the film, use Fandango or your local cinema.
  
• Watch the format label. If you do not want 3D or IMAX, be sure you select “Standard.”
  
• Check the city. Early screenings are in select theaters only. Verify the location before you pay.
  
• Beware markups. Third-party resale sites can add large fees. Compare against the official listing first.
  

What is new for the sequel

Universal has promoted fresh music for the second film, including first looks at original songs. That marketing push is tied to ticket sales and helps explain the early demand. Expect trailers and clips to continue as the date nears.

Quick comparison table

If you want the stage musical instead

For the Broadway production at the Gershwin Theatre, the official site posts box office hours and notes that buying in person can save on fees. Group and student options exist, and some programs list rush tickets. Touring dates are also sold through official venue partners. If you see prices that seem too high, you may be on a reseller. Step back and check the official site first.

Why it matters

Big releases can lead to sold-out prime seats and higher resale prices. A plan helps you get the format you want at a fair price. You also avoid buying the wrong ticket type. This saves money and time, and makes opening weekend more fun.

Final tips

• Book early for opening weekend, especially IMAX or Dolby.
  
• If you are flexible, pick a weekday or second weekend for better seats.
  
• Double check your theater, date, and format before you click buy.
  
• Keep proof of purchase in your email and app.
