Can a parent buy a minor a rated r ticket?

Answer 1

Yes, 17 is the legal age for purchasing R-rated movie tickets in the U.S. I just did a Google search for it. The next rating up -- the strongest rating -- is NC-17 (absolutely no one 17 or under is admitted, even with a parent/guardian). So, it seems to follow that 17 would be the age for purchasing R-rated movie tickets.

Answer 2

If you are of age, you can go to an R rated movie alone with friends or with your parent(s), however, a responsible parent would not take an underage child to a movie that was R rated. This is the main reason movies are rated, for children, teens and adults.

Answer 3

No. You must have an ID in order to purchase an R rated movie.

Answer 4

No, there has to be an Adult ( 18+) with you when you see the movie.

Answer 5

Yes. However the parent must need to go in the theater with you. If he/she buys it and leaves they will either give you a refund or make you choose another movie.

Answer 6

No. A parent or legal guardian must attend the film with a 16 year old.

Answer 7

If you are 17 or younger, only if you are accompanied by an adult.

Answer 8

Yes
