FAQ

Are packs always cheaper?

Per screening, often yes—but only if you actually attend enough sessions to use full value.

How to avoid overbooking?

Lock A-priority screenings first, then leave controlled gaps for transfers and meals.

Best strategy for first-timers?

Mix approach: a small pack plus selected single tickets usually balances risk and value.
