We have also reduced occupancy in other public areas such as restrooms and elevators. Guests can also enjoy a queue-less cinema experience by advance booking their tickets and F&B options online and we provide a contactless collection service so guests can keep a safe distance from staff. To further minimise physical contact and exposure, we offer contactless payment options and guests will be asked to self-scan their tickets before entering the auditorium.
