Film ticket information

Film admission is free with a MoMA general admission ticket, but you must obtain a screening ticket at the ticketing desk. You can also apply the value of a film ticket to a MoMA general admission ticket.

Members enjoy free film admission and early access to tickets year-round. Not a member? Join today.

Non-member Film tickets go on sale one week prior to screening date, beginning at 10:30 a.m. Members at the Explore category and above enjoy an additional weeklong presale period.

For programming and upcoming showtimes, see the film calendar. There is a $2 surcharge for any ticket reserved in advance and online, but this surcharge is waived for members at the Explore category and above.

All film tickets are subject to availability, and film tickets are not refundable.

The Contenders

Tickets are available to members at the Explore category and above beginning two weeks before each screening date. Additional tickets will be released to members and the general public one week before each screening date. Please note that space is extremely limited and tickets will be in high demand. Tickets can be reserved beginning at 10:30 a.m. ET on the date of availability.

Due to limited availability for the Contenders series, members at the Explore category and above receive only two free tickets per membership.

If a screening is sold out, a standby line will form one hour prior to start time. If you are a ticket holder and arrive after the scheduled start time, we cannot guarantee entry.

Theater policies

The theaters are one of the few places in NYC where cell phones and people are silent, food and drinks are for after the movie, and everyone has a wonderful time.

Late seating ends 10 minutes after the show starts. All screenings will begin promptly at their scheduled time.

Bags or items larger than 11" × 15" × 5" are not allowed.

Accessible sound amplification devices are available at the Film desk upon request. Closed captioning and descriptive audio may be available for select screenings, also upon request.
