We’ve cooked up an experiment in on-line ticket sales for 2010. We’ve decided to offer 150 Gateway Packets. For $30, the Gateway grants you the ability to make on-line reservations to three screenings (one ticket per person per screening). You’ll get to select your films from a list compiled by our programmers especially for the Gateway.

Not only do you get to reserve tickets before the box office opens to the general public on Thursday 2/25 at noon, you’ll also be able to pick up your tickets during a “Gateway and Passholder Only” pick-up period between 9am-Noon on Thursday, 2/25 (or anytime thereafter).

• Online Gateway purchases and reservations will begin on Thursday, 2/18 at 6 pm and end on Friday, 2/19 at 6pm (or as long as quantities last).
• Only 150 Gateway packets will be offered.
• Each Gateway packet purchase allows the purchaser to select one ticket to three of the screenings available to Gateway purchasers. Sorry, you can only select one ticket per screening.
• The Gateway packet is not a pass and does not grant you any passholder privileges.

You can pick up your packet of Gateway tickets at the True/False Box office located at 100 S. Ninth St, at the southeast corner of Ninth and Cherry Streets, starting Thursday 2/25 at 9am, before general ticket sales begin.

Gateway selections will be announced in the next few days.
