Cineplex Mobile Updated with SCENE Passbook Integration
Cineplex Mobile was one of the first apps updated with Passbook support for movie tickets. Oddly enough, the initial Passbook update did not include SCENE integration, a much requested feature by users. Well, that has changed because Cineplex Mobile was just updated to bring SCENE integration.
What’s New in Version 3.3
Scene Passbook Integration

Good on Cineplex to be quick out of the gate with this
I like it, I didn’t figure it out until I saw the Passbook button at the top right corner.
Awesome! Works like a charm!
Wait, what? Are you saying that charms work!!?
Boy have I been missing out,
so what does that mean for us? will we be able to to whip it out at every cinplex theater when we are buying tickets or food? just like with the starbucks app?
The Cineplex app already had a Scene Card scanning feature in the app before iOS 6 so yes, I assume that’s how it works. (Oddly enough, the bar code in the app and in Passbook don’t match. I hope that won’t be an issue.)
I think it may just show a sample during the transfer. After opening Passbook, the barcode and point balance are correct.
Apple doesn’t allow for linear barcodes in the passbook app. They put this limitation in as these type of barcodes can prove difficult to read off a screen. Definitely a double edge sword decision since it forces vendors to use a better standard, but one which is less prevalent.
Anyone know why when I check my points balance in the app it shows it as being 970, but when I add the card to my passbook, it shows my points as being 0? What’s wrong?
It shows 0 during the transfer. But after that I opened Passbook and the point balance was correct.
It’s cool!
I click on passbook it loads and nothing happens??
Anyone else experiencing this?
Exact same thing here. Bought the ticket, no problem, click the Passbook button, top right corner, get a Loading notice… then right back to the ticket. Same thing with my scene card. This is frustratingly unintuitive.
Im in the same boat. Anyone actually get this working? I tried restarting my phone and all the apps and still no luck. Cineplex website provides no link to contact for support. I tried sending them a facebook message and will post if i get a reply.
It doesn’t sound like it’s working for anyone anymore. Guess we’re stuck waiting.

Seems to be working now!
Thanks, yes it works now!
same here, can’t figure it out
Adding Scene to Passbook failed for me as well. Getting the same “loading” message as everyone else, and then nothing happens. I’m glad Cineplex is on board with Passbook, I just wish it would work!
Yay! So glad they added this functionality. Added to my Passbook, now I just have to go to a movie theatre to see how well the location awareness works. 🙂
With the latest version, Passbook integration doesn’t work for me still. Tried clearing my SCENE info from the app and re-adding, quitting and relaunching both apps, restarting phone. Nothing in Passbook. I made sure Passbook was running (and not running) each time.
Yesterday the “Loading” when I clicked ‘Passbook’ inside the SCENE tab would take a minute and disappear, now a few seconds, but in either case, nothing.

No luck for me either. Loading screen pops up for a second then disappears and scene card is not added to Passbook.
i had it working until i deleted it because im stupid and i cant get it back! it just shows a loading screen
We updated the newest Scene app on Friday night and were able to add two different scene cards (1 on an iPhone 5 and 1 on a iPhone 4S). On Saturday, our friends tried it and it didn’t work. After pressing the Passbook button in the Scene app, it would show “loading” and then the message would disappear and do nothing.
The only difference that I could see, is that the Friday update was done on WiFi, and the Saturday updates were done on 3G. I doubt this has any bearing on it, but maybe worth a try?
we actually had a card in Passbook before the Scene card (Walgreen’s, I just made one up to see if it worked). Our friends added a Sephora card first, then the Scene card worked. Maybe Scene doesn’t work if it’s the first card in Passbook?
I keel having the same loading problem everyone else is discribing. Any fixes yet?
