Please note that due to popular demand some of our films are now on Stand-By. When a film is on Stand-By we are no longer selling tickets in advance. This does not mean that we are sold out and usually, everyone on Stand-By is able to see the film. The Stand-By list begins one hour prior to the start of each film. |
