To make it fair and fun, giving everyone an equal chance at winning passes, they will be distributed in a raffle method. From 1PM to 2PM, we will distribute one raffle ticket per person. At 2:01PM, we will stop handing out raffle tickets. Shortly after, we will call out the numbers of the winning raffle tickets.Passes are ADMIT ONE meaning that if you have friends or family you want to attend the screening with, they will also have to be present to receive a raffle ticket to try to win a pass.
You are more than welcome to arrive early but it won’t give you any advantage at receiving pass since it’s up to the luck of the draw. You can form a line outside of the store if you arrive early.
Please do not contact the store in any way inquiring about the availability of passes or details about our event. They do not have any information on the screening or anything related.
