In this paper, new minimax theorems for mixed lower-upper semicontinuous functions in probabilistic metric spaces are given. As applications, we utilise these results to show the existence of solutions of abstract variational inequalities, implicit variational inequalities and saddle point problems, and the existence of coincidence points in probabilistic metric spaces.
