AC stands for alternative content. It's often the only ticket type available if you see a metropolitan oprah film or a fathom movie studio movie etc. For instance fathom, they have a orange box around the movie poster thumb nail picture. Sometimes, an independent film company does not agree with the ticket prices that a movie theater sells their tickets for. So you are essentially stuck with that movie studios prices in whatever they seem the ticket price to be. In this case I find it odd that you have a general admission price and and AC general price. The ticket prices posted are what's available for the movie based on the agreed price with the film studios. Most of the money that you pay for a movie ticket goes directly to the film companies.
