I have never purchased online tickets from BAMPFA, but when I enter my email address it says I already have an account. What is going on?

BAMPFA shares its ticketing system with other UC Berkeley departments. If you have purchased tickets online for other UC Berkeley events, such as football games, you may already be a registered user and should use the same password.

Do I need to enter my member number to buy tickets at the member price?

It is not necessary to enter a member number to purchase tickets at the member price. Please show your BAMPFA member card or supply your member number when you collect your tickets.

Can I buy tickets in person instead of online?

Yes, you may purchase advance tickets (without a surcharge) at the BAMPFA admissions desk during our hours of operation. If an event is not sold out, you may also purchase tickets in person at the event.

What is the Additional Feature ticket price category?

We offer a discount to patrons who attend more than one film screening in a single day. If you have already purchased, or added to your cart, a film ticket for that same day, you can select this option.
