Frequently asked questions...
Can I bring my own food and drink?
No outside food or drink allowed. Most of our downtown events have pop-up concessions stands and bars.
Where is the best place to park?
There are many parking lots available in Downtown LA within walking distance to the theatres. We highly recommend public transportation as most theatres are close to the Pershing Square metro stop. We will send an email out to ticketholders with parking lot and metro recommendations a few days before each event.
How does entry work?
You can choose to either print your ticket at home or download a barcode to your smartphone to be scanned at the gate for your admission. One ticket is good for one scan. It will not work on other scanners after being scanned. Seating inside is first-come, first-served.
How does seating work?
These historic movie palaces are set up like typical movie theaters with orchestra and balcony level seating. Seating is first-come first-served. If you have a Premium Ticket, you can sit in a reserved seating area. Look for signs or ask a Cinespia Usher.
I have a Premium Ticket – what do I get?
Benefits of Premium Tickets depend on the event. Most often you can skip the main entry line, receive a wristband for access to a reserved seating section, and skip the Photo Booth line. Check the ticket purchase page for details. Please show your ticket to a Cinespia Staff Member or security as soon as you arrive so you will be directed to the right areas.
Can I just show my ticket at the gate on my mobile device instead of printing it out?
Yes. Be sure to turn the brightness level on your phone or device all the way up and have your barcodes loaded before you get to the front of the line.
What options do you have for large groups/parties?
Cinespia does not offer group discounts at this time. If you are purchasing all of the tickets for your guests at once, we advise bringing a printed list of names of guests in your party to Will Call on the day of the event and ask your guests to check in there. Please have your order number and ID ready.
I was charged for tickets but never received an email confirmation!
