Why am I being charged an online convenience fee?

All convenience fees are non-refundable.

To have your online service fees waived for all of 2024, members need to have made at least 4 paid visits in 2023. This includes tickets purchased for general showings, Value Tuesday showings, Marcus Passports, and all other paid movie and entertainment experiences.
We are extending the annual qualification period through January 31, 2024 as we want to give all of our members the opportunity to achieve the benefit of waived online ticketing service fees. Online service fees will continue to be waived for all members through Feb. 29, 2024.
Online service fees on Value Tuesday ticket purchases will continue to be waived for all members.

When you click on the V symbol, it will bring up your payment breakdown to show that the convenience fee has been zeroed out.
