Ticket Prices
The following changes have been implemented to help reduce the spread of COVID-19.
Ticket/Concession Purchases:
We encourage everyone to purchase tickets online to decrease touch points. We have a new ticket reservation system now in place. Reservation system will automatically add social distancing seat spacing between groups.
Tickets are sold so as to only allow 50% auditorium capacity. We will accept cash but encourage guests to use credit cards and gift cards.
We've always prided ourselves on keeping our theatres clean, but we have implemented even more thorough cleaning practices.
All ticket and concession areas, bathrooms, common areas, and shared electronic equipment will routinely be cleaned and disinfected, with increased frequency throughout the day. Special attention will be given to high-contact surfaces (door handles, countertops, faucets, railings, etc.)
Time will be extended between show schedules to allow for thorough cleaning of auditoriums between showings. Auditorium entry/exit procedures will be modified to maintain social distancing and mandated crowd levels within lobby/common areas.
Interior and exterior areas where guests may queue will be marked with 6-foot spacing.
Soft drink machine will not be self serve at this time. There will be no free refills.
Prior to returning to work, employees will complete theatre based training, including information on enhanced cleaning procedures, personal health and wellness and social distancing. Staff will be instructed not to come to work if they are ill or experiencing any symptoms.
Mask and gloves will be provided for all staff as well as hand sanitizer and other disinfectant products.
Hand sanitizer and other disinfectant products will be readily available at appropriate areas.Notices will be prominently displayed at entry points advising guests of in-theater cleaning protocols, social distancing requirements/capacity limits and requests to stay home if they do not feel well.
Thank you to everyone for your business and returning to watch movies at the Downtown Cinema.
