25 & Under

Everyone aged 16-25 can enjoy £3 tickets for any film or event at BFI Southbank. From trailblazing indies, cinematic gems and unmissable industry events to film and TV seasons plus our regular strands, we’ve got you covered at the BFI. Regular screenings can be booked in advance, and special events and previews can be booked on the day of the event.

To sign up, all you need to do is:

• Check your details on your existing BFI account or create a new account.
• Verify your account at the BFI Southbank by e-mailing a copy of your ID to box.office@bfi.org.uk. Make sure that your date of birth is clearly visible.
• You’re all set! Login to your account, then go through to book and your ticket option will appear.

We'll try and verify accounts as soon as possible but it may take up to 24 hours.

We can also verify accounts at BFI Southbank.

To make this verification process as fast as possible:

• create your online account before coming to the box office
• allow at least 20 minutes before your desired screening is due to start, particularly if you’re coming with friends who also need to register

Our 25 & Under scheme is entirely free to join so sign up now!
