People waiting for a show at the Egyptian theatre

You're now in the waiting room!

Your current position in line is: 918

When it’s your turn, you’ll be able to enter the American Cinematheque website and browse the site normally.

This page will automatically refresh – we know you’re excited (so are we!) but please do not click back or refresh - you will lose your place and need to reenter the queue. Your status in the waiting room can change quickly.

Please note to those who may be here extra early: At the official start of sales, the queue is refreshed and everyone has the same chance to buy tickets. Tickets are always based on availability and are never guaranteed.

Why is there a waiting room?

If a popular screening or event goes on sale, it can get very busy on the Cinematheque’s website. To manage the traffic, a temporary waiting room is being set up.
