Ticket Prices & More
We only run around 5 minutes of ads and trailers before our feature films – so please plan accordingly.
We pride ourselves at the Capitol Theatre on our low ticket prices and concession prices that are less than the other theaters in the Boston area. Like many movie theaters, we run ads for a couple of minutes before previews, but unlike our competitors, we use the income from these ads to keep our tickets 20% cheaper than the chain theaters in the area.
