Terms and conditions

Glasgow Film Terms & Conditions

  1. Please note that Glasgow Film Theatre (GFT) and Glasgow Film Festival (GFF) tickets are non-refundable. Refunds will only be made in the event of a performance being cancelled.
  2. At the discretion of the manager, GFT tickets may be exchanged for another performance at the cost of £1.50 per ticket. This exchange must be processed no later than two hours before the start time of the original film. If tickets are not of equal value, the additional cost will also be charged, or, in the case of an exchange from a more expensive ticket to a cheaper one, the outstanding amount will be retained by GFT after the exchange fee has been deducted. GFF tickets can only be exchanged under exceptional circumstances, again at the discretion of the manager and at the additional cost of £1.50 per ticket, for other GFF tickets.
  3. Complimentary ticket vouchers or Cinecard complimentary vouchers are valid for standard-priced GFT performances only (where tickets are available) and cannot be used for Glasgow Film Festival performances, unless otherwise stated.
  4. Tickets can be booked in advance online or over-the-phone (subject to availability). Please note that phone bookings will incur a £1.50 booking fee. There is no additional charge for online booking.

Ticket-holders will not be admitted after the advertised time.
  8. During film screenings, we request patrons refrain from talking or making noises which could distract others and also from using any form of light source which could affect the enjoyment of fellow audience members.
