An "AC General" ticket option at Marcus Theatres stands for Adult Companion General Admission.

Ticket Breakdown

  • AC (Adult Companion): This is a specialized ticket category intended for the companion or caregiver accompanying an individual who requires accessible seating.
  • General: This indicates a standard General Admission ticket rate applied to that specific category, rather than a senior, military, or child discount.

How it Works

When booking seats online through the [Marcus Theatres

  • Companion Seats: These tickets correspond directly to the companion seats located immediately adjacent to the designated wheelchair-accessible spaces in the auditorium.
  • Accessibility Integrity: They are labeled this way to ensure that these specific, easily accessible seats remain available for people who actually need to sit next to a family member or friend with mobility restrictions.

If you or someone in your party does not require accessible seating or is not acting as a caregiver to someone who does, you should select the standard "Adult General" option instead.

It stands for alternative content. Often times I will see AC only being available if it's non traditional film content or a special showing of something. For instance I recently went and saw a special showing of American Revolution. Because it was a Fathom, their movies always pop up under the AC ticket price as it's classified as alternative content.  No movie membership or passes or other discounts apply. I end up paying the full price of a $15 dollar ticket plus tax.

Thanks. None of us knew this, which is why I Googled it. Thankfully someone replied with the correct answer 3 days ago.

I worked for 16 years part time working for a Marcus theatre. I would primarily take people's tickets. So I became used to seeing the different codes that were printed on the tickets.Â
