How does your pricing compare to others, and what is dynamic pricing?
As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, our mission is to make film and the arts accessible to everyone. That’s why we do our best to follow local market trends and strive to keep our ticket prices lower than most other theaters in the area whenever possible.
For IMAX, our ticket prices are typically $3–$4 less than the nearest IMAX theater, even though we offer the same premium viewing experience. In fact, our IMAX tickets are sometimes priced similarly to standard (non-IMAX) tickets at nearby competitors.
We also use dynamic pricing, which means ticket prices may adjust based on factors like demand, time, and availability. This approach helps us meet audience demand while continuing to offer strong value.
Please note that while we aim to stay competitively priced, pricing may vary based on market conditions and other factors.
