What is the best movie theater membership in L.A. right now?

I'm trying to decide on what movie theater membership to get for the summer. What do you suggest is the best membership? And what membership are you getting for this summer? I consider things like price, food, bathroom situation, parking situation, programming, etc. so I might go with Alamo Drafthouse but I hate paying for parking, even if it is validated parking.

I’m Heartbroken

I was four people behind the last who got tickets.

So just wanted to come on here and explain my experience with the Backrooms Premiere today. I am a member, I get my RSPV tickets for this event from an industry friend who got them, I’m SUPER excited as if I could pick one thing to do in my entire life over anything else this would be it, I got there super early at about 4:45 and wait in line for a little over an hour I think (it was confusing to figure out because there were like 4 different lines, so I waited in what I believe was the right one). After which, employees come around and explain that they’ve already given out all available physical tickets, and that the last who got them were right in-front of me. They say to go wait in the “Standby Line” and a bunch of people rush that way, but I’m confused so I asked a few questions. By the time I realize what has just happened there’s absolutely no hope since the new line is packed. I get no waitlist chance despite being so close behind the last to get in. At this point there’s no chance because the standby line is now full, and if I wanted to wait I would have to reset into a new line from the very back. I’m extremely disappointed with the way this was handled. Kane is my biggest inspiration and I hope the premiere is amazing; I just wish I could have been there or at the very least not been given hope and then had my heart crushed.

BACKROOMS LINE UPDATE

Please post here as you get in line so people can be across if they have a chance to actually get in depending on arrival timings.

1:35pm UPDATE: Just got here myself there’s about 15 people in the member line and no one in general or standby.

2:05pm UPDATE: ~25 people in Member line. General and standby still open.

2:28pm UPDATE: A war between Else / Clare V. and the American Cinematheque is brewing. Bigger than Iran. Stay tuned.

3:00pm UPDATE: The war is over... for now. About 40 people in member line.

4:00pm UPDATE: 80 people in member line. 4 in GA line. 4 in Standby line.

5:00pm UPDATE: 120 people in member line. 8 in GA. 4 in Standby.

5:30pm UPDATE: 200+ in member line. 12 in GA. 8 in Standby.

FYI: All physical tickets for Backrooms have been handed out. AC management just came out and went down the line to say if you don’t have a ticket yet that you should get into standby standby and hope for the best.

They also just merged the GA and Standby line to be the same thing. I would say chances are pretty much zero if you aren’t here yet.

BACKROOMS RSVP THREAD

Hello all--

There are an insane amount of posts just for Backrooms tickets, so I'm going to try and keep all the requests for trades or freebies to this thread.

Reminder: you have to offer tickets for face value. Since these tickets are free RSVPs, we will not allow monetary offers on either end for buying or selling. If we see these offers, we will ban.

Good luck to those seeking tickets.

Its insane how fast these are selling out

This is my first year as an AC member so this might be a naive thought but it just mystifies me how fast these q&a screenings sell out. Eddington was gone by 12:01.

Any spare tickets for the FREE members-only PRESSURE screening tomorrow?

Not a member, but DESPERATELY wants to attend PRESSURE members-only screening/Q&A at u/Aero tomorrow.

It's free for members, wondering if anyone would be kind enough to provide me with a ticket. Thank you so much!

The AC management just came down the line saying if you don’t have a ticket you’ll need to get into standby and hope for the best.
