The Cinema Exhibitors' Association (CEA) Card

The CEA card is a national scheme set up by the UK Cinema Association and is accepted by 90% of cinemas in the UK.

The card provides one free ticket for an accompanying person. When a cardholder pays for their ticket, their accompanying carer will go free into the cinema to assist them.

To be eligible for a card, applicants need to be in receipt of one of the following:

1. Registered severely sight impaired or sight impaired (formerly registered blind or partially sighted)
2. Disability Living Allowance
3. Personal Independence Payment
4. AFIP
5. Attendance Allowance

Applicants must be 8 years of age or older. There is a £6 processing fee for applications, and cards are valid for 12 months from the date of issue.
