Markings on the floor in front of the box office and the entrance to the cinema are intended to make sure that the appropriate distance is observed when queuing and to guide visitors in the correct direction. Cinemagoers are requested to enter the cinema auditorium immediately after buying their ticket.
Plexiglas screens at the box office
Plexiglas screens have been installed at both cash registers at the Arsenal box office to protect cinemagoers and staff.
