About a Four-Screening Pass
- QWhat is a Four-Screening Pass?
- A You can exchange a Four-Screening Pass for four Single Tickets which can be used for films screened at Spiral Hall.
The price of a Four-Screening Pass is more reasonable than purchasing 4 individual tickets and you can share the tickets with other people. You can exchange the pass for Single Tickets for use on other dates as well and do not need to receive the tickets all at once.
Kindly be informed that a Four-Screening Pass itself is not for film-specific use, and it should be exchanged for Single Tickets before watching any films.
Please note that we may be unable to exchange a Four-Screening Pass to Same-Day Tickets in the event that Same-Day Tickets have sold-out.
You can exchange the pass at our festival counter in Spiral Hall anytime after the counter opens on Friday, July 13th.
We will inform you of the festival counter’s opening time on our website soon.
This pass cannot be exchanged for tickets for films screening at Tokyo Women’s Plaza.
About ticket notation
- QWhat do the letters and numbers on the bottom of each ticket indicate?
- A The numbers are used as reference numbers at the door. We announce the number and ask guests to enter the hall in that order to avoid a crowded entrance.
The letters are for our internal use to track sales locations, and therefore they are not used at the door. The numbers used for entering the screening hall are counted from 1 regardless of where tickets were purchased.
