Ticket information for the Ghibli Retrospective series, summarized from the printed program by Charlie Tangora:

"General Admission is $7, members $3. A basic membership ('Honor Roll') is $35, and it includes 4 free tickets, so if you plan to go to more than 5 screenings, it's a good deal (you'll save $17 if you go to all 10.) The box office opens 1 hour before the first show of the day; at least in October, all the Ghibli screenings are the first shows of the day. It says nothing about advance tickets; it doesn't sound like they're available. Member tickets and passes must be exchanged for tickets at the box office."

Note:  Another showing of Kiki at the Film Center apparently is scheduled for Saturday, 10/2 at 12:30 PM, as part of a separate event called "From Manga Comics and Animation to Sumo Wrestling: A Look at Japanese Society Today".  Please check with the Institute for current schedule details.  The following information is believed to apply to the 10/2 showing of Kiki:

"Tickets are free.  Tickets can be reserved (limitation of 2) at the Japan Information Center via email jiee@xsite.net or fax (312) 280-6883. Tickets can be picked up at the Japan Information Center, 737 N. Michigan Ave. #1000 or held at the door, School of the Art Institute Film Center, Columbus Drive and Jackson.  Doors open at 11:15.  Direct inquiries to Japan America Society (312) 263-3049."

For those who haven't been back to the theatre since the remodel; the sound is very nice now, with very little background noise, and the echo has been fixed, all in all we have a very nice sounding theatre.
