How do tickets and theatre access work?
Ticket rules at the El Capitan Theatre depend on the performance, so review the listing for the date and time you plan to attend. Tickets are for the date and time purchased, all sales are final, and the theatre does not allow exchanges or refunds.
Children age 2 or younger do not need a ticket, but must sit on an adult’s lap for the entire movie. Accessible and companion seating is available on the Orchestra Level; the Balcony Level has no elevator and can be reached only by stairs.
The theatre offers a limited number of listening, closed-captioning and descriptive-narrative devices at no cost. If you need one, see the theatre manager 30 minutes before showtime; you’ll need a driver’s license or credit card as security.
There is no bag-size restriction, but entry means consenting to a physical search of bags, personal belongings and the person for recording devices or prohibited items. The theatre is open daily and closes only for special events, but it does not publish fixed daily opening hours.

What should you plan around a performance?
