Membership FAQs
Q: Why should I become a member?
A: There are a number of benefits of membership that go along with discounted or free admission. Some of the perks at all levels include discounts on merchandise, free popcorn punch card, and invitations to exclusive member events. And, by being a member you help to support our programming efforts including first run films, special events and series.
Q: Do I get in for free?
A: Some members have free admission or discounted tickets to certain events. This is on a film-by-film and membership level basis.
Q: How long will it take before I receive my membership card?
A: Your member code works immediately on ticket purchases! Give our office a week to process your request before the card is sent. If you do not receive your card in the mail within two weeks please let us know by emailing slashpass@aperturecinema.com
Q: How long is a membership and does it automatically renew?
A: A year. It does not automatically renew but you will receive a reminder email when it is about to expire and which time you can easily renew online.
Q: What’s the difference in being a donor and a member?
A: Both are essential! Members receive benefits and discounts, while donors do not. Our donors are those who give primarily during our fall annual fund campaign, but we accept donations year-round. Donors do not receive any benefits in exchange for their contribution, so donations are 100% tax deductible. These donations go to support our annual operating costs and are essential.
Q: Is membership tax-deductible?
A: Some are tax deductible and some are only partially. It depends on the membership level. You will have to talk to your tax advisor about how and what you can deduct.
Q: I’m a donor does that mean I’m a member, too?
A: No. There are differences (see above), but we encourage you to be both!
Q: How can I sign up?
A: One of three ways: 1) online by clicking here, 2) by completing a brochure and mailing it in, or 3) returning it, along with payment, to a member of the a/perture staff.
Q: What happens if I forget my card when I come?
A: No worries. We can still look you up in our system. If you lose your card, please email slashpass@aperturecinema.com immediately to receive a replacement card.
