Disney just launched a new way to buy movie tickets online. So far it’s just for their upcoming release Toy Story 3 but they’re planning on piloting it for this hit and then rolling out more movies to it.

Basically Disney Tickets Together is just an application that lets you buy tickets to the movie directly on Facebook, and then asks who you’d like to invite friends right at the point of purchase so that buying tickets instantly becomes a social activity.

Really Disney? You’ve socialized internet shopping. Now we can still do it from your underwear, during our favorite TV shows, and still skip all of the traffic/crowds/lines…but now we can do it with friends who are also in the comfort of their undergarments and Lazyboys. Just imagine! It could be a virtual shopping trip between you and your best friend, at any time of the day you want! Maybe even fire up the Skype video chat so you can talk and see each other’s reactions to various items? 

Okay, okay…maybe I’m getting ahead of myself here.

But something just as simple as movie tickets through Facebook would be concert tickets through Facebook. Why not? Most of us would probably agree that concerts are a much more social environment than watching a movie and going to a concert by yourself is just as lame as going to the movies by yourself. It’s a perfect fit for social online shopping, so I hope you promoters are taking interest.
