You will get a booking reference number at the end of the booking process as well as an email confirming your booking.
Once I have booked tickets online, how do I collect them?
You can collect your tickets from any till point within the complex or from any of the automatic ticket machines located in the cinema foyer (x2). You must remember to bring the card used during the booking process as this may be required to locate and issue your booking or to confirm identification.
Please ensure that you arrive well in advance of your performance in order to pick up your tickets. If you arrive after the performance has started, admission may be refused to avoid disruption to guests already seated in the cinema.
If your booking contains a student ticket, you may be required to show your student ID at the cinema. A student is anyone (post primary) in full-time education.
I’ve made a mistake with my booking – what should I do?
Please call us on 028 71 371999 if this happens or email movies@brunswickmoviebowl.com and we will endeavour to remedy any mistakes.
Can I add extra seats to an existing booking?
We currently operate assigned seating on all shows. To add additional seating please book additional seats online (www.brunswickmoviebowl.com), by telephone (028 71 371999) or in person anywhere within the Brunswick Moviebowl complex.
I want to book a ticket for a date which isn’t displayed.
We sometimes have to wait until the film distribution companies fully confirm details about a film before we can put tickets on sale. As soon as we know the film times they will be displayed on the website – usually this results in the tickets for the week commencing Friday appearing on the website no later than the previous Wednesday.
Some film releases go on sale a few weeks before their release date after agreement with the film distributors. To ensure you are informed about advance sales of key films, you can register with the Brunswick Moviebowl newsletter or become a fan on our Facebook page – www.facebook.com/brunswickmoviebowl.
Why do you charge a booking fee?
The booking fee covers the additional costs incurred by the cinema relating to your online purchase. The transaction charge is £0.90p per transaction. There is no additional charges for telephone bookings.
Can you resell tickets?
You must not resell or offer for resale any tickets (whether at a premium or otherwise) or use tickets for advertising or promotions or for any other trade purposes. If you resell or offer for resale any tickets, then they will be invalid.
Do I require ID to purchase a cinema ticket?
In some cases, yes. ID may be required for 12, 12A, 15 & 18 certificate films. A valid Student ID may be required when purchasing student tickets. In the event of a dispute, the cinema manager’s decision is final.
What does the term ‘Free List Suspended’ (FLS) mean?
When you see the term ‘Free List Suspended’ beside a particular film title, this means that some types of Free Tickets, cannot be used by a customer to see that film. In most cases this applies to the first two weeks after a film’s release date. This is a standard condition of the film distributors, Universal, 20th Century Fox, etc.
How can I find out what a film is about?
Just check out our Now Showing page or Cinema page and click on the relevant movie.
Why can’t I find out what times the films will be showing next month?
Like most cinemas, we can only work on our film programme one week at a time and just under a week in advance. There are many reasons for this, but the main reason is that each week we have to analyse the previous weekend’s screenings and look at how each of the films have performed. This is so we can bring together a programme, which has the most popular films showing at the most convenient times for the benefit of our audiences. In the case of ‘big event movies’ we always try to have the times programmed for sale several weeks in advance. Normally by the Wednesday of each week you can start booking your tickets for the forthcoming weekend’s new releases.
If I have booked two tickets am I guaranteed my two seats?
We currently operate assigned seating on all shows. Therefore, the seats you choose at the time of booking will be the seats allocated to you when you arrive for your showing.
If you see the Book Now Image is booking available?
On occasion for any big releases or “event” movies, booking can begin several weeks in advance, so it is always a good idea to keep your eye on what’s coming soon!
Is it safe to use your website for online booking?
Yes. The Web Booking Engine that we use utilises 128-bit encrypted SSL (secure socket layer) technology, which is standard for all online Credit Card transactions.
Is my personal information kept private and secure?
Yes, Brunswick Moviebowl is very respectful about the privacy concerns of all our customers. All the personal information you enter when registering / booking with us is kept on secure servers and is not supplied or sold to any third party. However we sometimes need to use e-mail addresses / mobile phone numbers and other personally identifiable information to contact customers when we may be required to do so, e.g. Credit Card Fraud or Police Investigations.
Can I make an online / phone booking with Vouchers & Complimentary passes?
Gift Vouchers can be redeemed online but not complimentary passes. Complimentary passes can only redeemed in person, at the cinema.
If I collect my pre-booked tickets can I still get them refunded if I give enough notice?
Yes. As long as collected tickets are presented in person at least 2 hours pre-show, we can refund them for you. We will not refund collected tickets over the phone or by email.
Does the cardholder need to be present when I’m collecting my tickets?
For your protection against fraud we strongly recommend that the cardholder is present to collect tickets. If the cardholder cannot be present on the day, they can collect the tickets anytime between making the booking and the day of the screening during normal opening hours.
Where can I collect my tickets from?
You can collect your tickets from the cinema till points or from the Automatic Ticket Machines. You can also collect your tickets from any till point within the Brunswick Moviebowl complex.
How do I know if my booking is confirmed?
At the end of your booking you will be given a unique reference number. Please keep a note of this number, as you will need to bring it along with your card when you collect your tickets at the cinema. You will also receive an email to confirm your booking.
What is a CVV / CVV-2 Code that I am being asked for?
The Card Verification Value Code (CVV) is a 3 Digit code on the back of your credit card that is used for authorisation purposes.
Can I book my tickets now for any of the Movies that are in the Coming Soon Pages?

Technology
Do you show films in 3D?
Yes, RealD 3D. RealD 3D is the new generation of entertainment, with crisp, bright, ultra realistic images so lifelike you feel like you’ve stepped inside the movie. RealD 3D adds depth that puts you in the thick of the action, whether you’re taking a voyage through an undiscovered land or dodging objects that seem to fly into the theatre. RealD 3D movies are so advanced that you don’t just see what’s happening on the screen, you can really feel it. Don’t just watch a movie, experience a new dimension of entertainment with RealD 3D.
RealD pioneered today’s digital 3D and is the world’s most widely used 3D movie technology. RealD 3D is 100% digital so it delivers a stunningly realistic and fully immersive entertainment experience every time. And unlike the old days of paper glasses, RealD 3D glasses look like sunglasses, are recyclable and designed to comfortably fit on all moviegoers. 3D Glasses are available in childs, adults and clip-on’s.
How does 3D work?
During the making of 3D films, two cameras are used for each shot, providing two slightly different viewpoints for every moment. These become separate streams of images – one for each eye. During a 3D movie, the projector plays a left-eye image, then a right eye image one after the other, so quickly that you think they’re playing at the same time.
Your 3D eye-wear shows each eye the correct image and your brain fools you into seeing a three dimensional image when, in reality, there are just two.
3D Glasses
You only need to purchase glasses once, keep them safe and clean and reuse them again and again.
Glasses are available at all tillpoints in the cinema.
If you scratch or damage your 3D glasses it may spoil your enjoyment of your 3D experience and we would encourage you to purchase a new pair.
Do you show films in Digital format?
Brunswick Moviebowl is a fully digital cinema 2k & 4k technology projectors.
