Ticket Prices
Tickets are $11.00.
A reduced ticket price of $6.00 is available for:
These discounts are made possible, in part, with generous
support from the Academy
Foundation of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences, and the NYC
Department of Cultural Affairs.
Senior Citizens
Seniors pay $6.00, Monday-Friday for shows which begin before 5pm only. At
all other times, seniors must pay full price.
With very few exceptions, everything we present on all 3 screens plays during
this pre-5pm time slot weekdays.
We understand that many seniors are disappointed with the
time limitations of our discount policy. However, we are a nonprofit cinema,
offering specialized fare, and thus have to balance our discount policies with
financial realities. Unlike movie chains (Clearview Cinemas, Loews, United
Artists, Regal and Landmark Cinemas, etc.) we do not generate large profits.
We must limit discounted tickets to screenings which are ordinarily less crowded,
and evening and weekend shows are inevitably the most crowded.
Consider purchasing a Film Forum Membership: A $75 membership allows you to buy a $6.00 at all times. And an $110 membership
allows the same discount for you plus a guest. Considering the high rate of
turn-over of our films, a membership offers important savings year-round.

Group Sales
Reduced price tickets of $6.00 are available for groups
of 12 or more. Generally we limit group sales to Monday-Thursday
shows. We encourage teachers with students to attend on this
basis. Checks are accepted for group sales. Please call Alice
Chahbazian Mateychak (212) 627-2035 or e-mail
her to make arrangements.

AN EXPLANATION OF OUR TICKET SALES
POLICY
FOR DOUBLE FEATURES
Film Forum sometimes presents double features (one admission charge entitles
you to see two films) as part of our repertory program. All double features
are clearly marked as such on our website.
Unfortunately, we cannot sell tickets to double features online
or in advance. The number of seats available for each
show is dependent upon the number of tickets sold to the previous
show, and, ultimately, to the number of people who stay on to
see both features. For this reason we must sell shows in
consecutive order. After tickets are sold for the first two films
of the day, sales for each film begin 20 minutes after the start
time of the preceding film of the same title.
When one-half of a double feature is sold out, we start a standby
line outside. People often leave after the first feature,
therefore freeing up additional seats. Our ushers are trained
to count seats and get in as many people from the standby line
as possible (for that reason, we ask your cooperation in NOT
leaving coats or other belongings on seats!). It's extremely
rare that a film is so popular that the standby line does not
get in.
The double feature is a tradition that we're proud to maintain. We've
generally gotten very positive feedback from our members and
other audience members regarding them. We apologize
to those who think our double feature policy an inconvenience.
