CAN’T GET A TICKET?

 

If a screening is sold out, you might still be able to watch it. If all tickets have been sold, a screening is deemed Stand-by. On the day of the screening, customers can join the Stand-by queue and wait until approximately 15 minutes before the screening starts. If there are any empty seats at that time, they will be offered to the Stand-by queue, on a first-come, first served basis. So take a chance and show up anyway!
