About
The CEA Card is a national card scheme developed for UK cinemas by the UK Cinema Association (UKCA). INDY has developed a solution to support this for our UK partners.
The card enables a disabled cinema guest to receive one complimentary ticket for someone to go with them when they visit a participating cinema, to watch a film.
For more information and FAQS, please visit the official CEA Card website here.
