Non-bookable tickets
34% of the house is allocated on the day of the screening, 45 minutes in advance, on a first-come-first-served basis.
When we expect a film to be busy, we will endeavour to schedule at least a 45 minute gap between screening times. During voting season, when we show as many films as we can, this is not always possible. During those times, members who wish to attend consecutive screenings will need to book in advance via the online booking system or by telephone if they are not online. Alternatively, they can apply for tickets in the intermission between the screenings with the understanding that tickets may not be available by the time the first screening is finished.
We hope you enjoy using the booking system and welcome your feedback. Please email any comments or suggestions to onlinebooking@bafta.org .
