Tickets can be purchased in-person at the Cornell Cinema Box Office or through our online ticketing platform Eventive.
The box office is located just outside the theatre on the lower level of Willard Straight Hall. It opens 20 minutes before the scheduled showtime and remains open until 30 minutes after the film has started. We accept cash and all major credit cards.
Our All-Access Pass is a great way to save — for one low, annual price, passholders can book free tickets to all regular screenings and receive a discount on special events!
