Tickets
As of July 1, 2010, our regular show ticket prices (including HST) are:

• $10.00 for Non-Members
• $7.00 for ByTowne Members (with card)
• $7.00 for Seniors (age 65 and over, with I.D.)
• $7.00 for Children and Youth (age 17 and under, with I.D.)

Unless otherwise noted in our program guide, separate admission is required for each film. Prices above apply at all shows, 7 days a week, except for some special events and charity fundraisers.

A valid Membership card must be presented to obtain the Member's price (please do not ask our cashiers to break the rules). They cost $11.00 and are valid for 12 month from the time of purchase.

For more information, please visit our FAQ.

Advertising
Everything you ever wanted to know about advertising in the ByTowne Guide (but were afraid to ask) can be found on our Ad Rate Card (.pdf).

Accessibility
The ByTowne auditorium and washrooms are fully accessible for patrons in wheelchairs. Ask our usher for the locations of our wheelchair ‘parking’ spots.

For hard-of-hearing patrons, the ByTowne has an FM Audio Assist system. Receivers are available free of charge from the candy bar staff. The receiver clips on your belt or waistband and relays the sound to your ears via an earphone (you can use the one supplied, or for a better fit, bring your own earbuds; anything with a standard 3.5mm mini stereo plug will work). Patrons who have a hearing aid equipped with a T-coil should ask us for an induction loop (it fits easily around your neck) that sends the sound to your hearing aid.
 

History
Yup, the ByTowne is so old that it might be even considered olde by some young whippersnappers. This building has been a cinema since 1947 and the ByTowne Cinema since 1988. We'll fill in this space with more information soon. In the meantime, we highly recommend the book A Theatre Near You by Alain Miguelez, which details Ottawa's cinematical (and theatrical) history.
