Korea's biggest cinema chain CGV will be giving movie ticket discounts every Tuesday until Dec. 26, to people who go to its 48 theaters in Seoul and surrounding areas via subway.

A ticket buyer must show a picture of himself/herself riding the subway specifically on Tuesday.

The discount campaign named "Eco Day" is being run in association with Seoul Metro, which operates subway lines No.1-4 and Seoul Metropolitan Rapid Transit, which runs line No.5-8. People using Bundang, Incheon and No.9 lines can also benefit.

Customers with a verified photo will be able to buy a ticket for all 2D films for 7,000 won, down from the regular 9,000-11,000 won.

Buyers will also receive a 1,000 won discount on refreshments from the concession stand if they make a "Picture Ticket" with a verified photo.

The discount does not apply to special movie theaters or movies that start before 10:00 a.m. or after 12:00 a.m.
