Movie & Event FAQ

Here are a few of our most frequently asked questions regarding our operations.  If you don’t see your question here please send an e-mail  to info@nantucketdreamland.org.

Special Screenings and Events

Our special screenings and event ticket prices vary depending on the program.  Please check our Tickets & Showtimes line up for a complete list of prices.  Some special screenings and events are free to members.  Check your member benefits for details.

Why are there service fees?

The service fees cover the cost of the ticketing software.  We are charged to use the software regardless whether you purchase the ticket online or at the box office, so the service fee applies regardless.  The service fees are $3 per ticket for movies and events below $50.  For tickets above $50, the fees vary based on the cost of the ticket.  Dreamland Members do not pay any service fees, so please consider joining!

Why are tickets more expensive for non-members?

The Nantucket Dreamland is non-profit and relies on community support for its operations.  Many of the grants we receive require we demonstrate we have community support through strong membership sales.  As such, we strongly encourage people to become members.  Even if you only visit the Dreamland occasionally, you will find Member Benefits significantly outweigh the membership cost – through free tickets, discounted tickets, free popcorn and more!

How do I purchase tickets?

All tickets must be purchased via our website or at our lobby kiosks.  To purchase tickets online 24/7,  visit Tickets & Showtimes.

*Special assistance is available at the Box Office in our lobby.

For questions, please contact boxoffice@nantucketdreamland.org

May I purchase tickets on Fandango?

Yes, tickets are available for purchase on Fandango but please be advised that Fandango charges its own service fee on top of our ticket fees.

When will you will be getting/Can you book…?

We work hard with our booking agent to bring our patrons the best releases possible but we do have limitations on when and if we will get a certain film.  We always welcome suggestions though, so if there is a specific movie you think would be great for a regular showing or for a special screening, please let us know!

We offer three dedicated seats for wheelchairs with companion seating in the Main Theater.  While you may purchase these tickets online yourself (subject to review by theater staff), we are happy to assist you if you call or email the box office.

The Studio and Harborview Theaters are designed to allow for wheelchair seating anywhere and tickets for shows in those theaters may be purchased online.

If you require assistance to your seat or while in the theater, please see the manager on duty.     See Accessibility & Assistive Technology for a full list of our available devices.

Where can I park?

The Dreamland does not have parking available on its property.  On-street parking is available, along with the town parking lot located on Washington Street.  Please ensure that you obey all town enforced parking regulations and time limits.

How long does the screening or performance last?

You can always find out how long a screening or performance is by checking the Tickets & Showtimes page.

What time should I arrive at the theater?

For live events, we do our best to start the show at the scheduled time so we recommend you arrive 15 – 30 minutes early.  There is that rare occasion when we have to “hold” the house for a few extra minutes.  If you require assistance or are unable to stand, please see the manager on duty for assistance.

Unlike other movie theaters, we typically only show a few minutes of previews after the scheduled movie start time, so we strongly encourage you to arrive early to have time to get popcorn/concessions and settle into your seat.

How do I get my band/artist/speaker booked?

Please contact Josh Gray
