Sold Out? Try the Standby Line!
- Shows are never really “sold out”! If the allotment of pre-sales is exhausted, we move the film into standby ticketing mode.
- The standby line will form 45 minutes before show time, rain or shine, outside the AFI Silver Theatre & Cultural Center. The line will start at the box office and continue down Colesville Road towards Panera Bread.
- 15 minutes before the show starts, we will sell any unclaimed seats to people who have made it to the screening and are in the standby line looking for tickets!
- Chances of getting in through the standby line? It varies by show, but we can usually get from 5 to 50+ people in. Bring a friend, book, or mp3 player and give it a try!
