Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Access 2 Entertainment Card?

The Access 2 Entertainment Card provides persons with a disability to receive either free admission or a significant discount for their support person at member movie theatres across Canada. This program was developed by an advisory group of nine national disability organizations, in conjunction with Famous Players and Cineplex Galaxy.

How does it work?

Present the Access 2 Entertainment Card when purchasing tickets with your support person at participating movie theatres. It is that simple!

Note: The person with a disability pays regular admission.

Who can apply?

Persons with a permanent disability who require a support person when attending a movie theatre are eligible for the card. There are no age restrictions. The applicant (or guardian) must agree to follow the terms and conditions for use of the card.

Who is a support person?

A support person is an individual who accompanies a person with a disability to provide those services that are not provided by theatre employees, such as assisting the person with eating, administering medication, communication and use of the facilities.
