Hull Independent Cinema membership

The Hull Independent Cinema membership scheme is really simple. You pay £15 and in return you get £1 off the standard ticket price for all film screenings that are part of the regular HIC programme, as well as to certain other events and screenings as advertised from time to time.

As well as a discount to every film, you also benefit from two free tickets during the membership year (subject to availability, terms and conditions apply). You can use these for yourself and a guest at one film, or for just yourself at two different films. Details of how to claim these will be sent to you when you buy or renew your membership.

We usually process memberships once a week or so, but you don’t need to wait for your card to arrive; buy membership today and you can start buying discount tickets immediately. If your membership card has not arrived by the time you want to attend a screening, just show your order confirmation email as proof of membership.

If you are able to, please pay for your membership with a debit or credit card rather than via PayPal. Card payments are processed by Stripe, a secure payment system, and we never see or store your card details. Paying this way costs us less in transaction fees so more of your membership fee goes to supporting the work we do. You can of course still use PayPal if you prefer.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

• Membership cards are non-transferable, non-refundable and must only be used by the person named on the card.
• Membership cards must be presented along with your ticket on the door (or when purchasing a ticket from the sales desk) when you come to a film. If you do not have your membership card with you we will endeavour to check your membership status but reserve the right to charge the standard non-member rate for your ticket.
• Only one discount ticket may be purchased for each film per membership. Members who purchase tickets on behalf of non-members may only claim the member discount on their own ticket. You may of course claim the discount on any tickets you purchase on behalf of other members, but those members must also show their membership card on the door when attending the film.
• HIC membership cards are only valid for discount at regular HIC screenings or where specifically advertised at other events. HIC membership discount cannot be claimed in addition to any concession prices unless specifically stated.
• Members are entitled to two free tickets during their membership year. These can be two tickets for yourself and a guest at one film, or tickets for just yourself to two different films. Your free ticket cannot be given to anyone else and you must show proof of membership at the door when using your free ticket.
• Free tickets are not available at all HIC screenings. We are unable to offer free tickets for screenings that take place at Hull Truck Theatre, and they cannot be claimed for special events outside our core programme unless otherwise stated.
• The number of free tickets available at any individual screening is limited and we cannot guarantee availability. Please reserve free tickets as far in advance as possible and consider claiming them at titles less likely to attract a sold-out audience. Requests for free tickets must be made no later than one week before the film screening date. Free tickets can be cancelled with at least 48 hours' notice; after this time we cannot return or transfer a free ticket.
• Becoming part of the HIC membership scheme does not automatically confer full legal membership of the registered charity Hull Independent Cinema Project. Full legal membership is available to those members who attend our Annual General Meeting, details of which will be provided to you in advance.
