MUBI Go
MUBI GO subscribers can claim one free ticket each week to see the newest Film of the Week selection playing in Arthouse Kinos Frankfurt. This film is displayed in the MUBI GO app, along with the relevant showtimes. On the day you wish to attend, you can choose a screening time from the list. This will generate a QR code, to be presented at the box office and exchanged for a ticket. Please note: Your ticket can only be redeemed 60 minutes (or less) prior to the screening. Your issued QR code does not count as a reservation. If a screening is sold out before you claim your ticket, you will need to select another showtime.
