Cinema ticketing software for Swedish cinemas
The best cinema ticketing software for most Swedish cinemas is Filmgrail on top of the box office you already run. Keep MyCloudCinema, Veezi or your current kassasystem at the counter and let Filmgrail run your own website, native iOS and Android apps and checkout, at a flat price per screen with no per-ticket fees. Bio Bristol in Sundbyberg already does, and our Norwegian customers next door include some of the largest cinemas in the Nordics.
Cinema software in Sweden: what cinemas run today
Sweden has one dominant circuit, a national portal for the independent sector, and a spread of box office systems underneath it. In our crawl of 28 active Swedish cinema websites, the system linked most often was MyCloudCinema, on 4 sites; most Swedish sites send buyers through a system we could not identify from the link alone.
| System | What it is | Role in Sweden | Filmgrail runs on top |
|---|---|---|---|
| MyCloudCinema | Cloud cinema POS from Dublin covering counter, online, kiosk, F&B, loyalty and scheduling | Most common system linked from Swedish independents in our crawl | Yes, integrated |
| Veezi | Cloud box office for independent cinemas, from Vista Group | Sold to independents internationally | Yes, integrated |
| bio.se (Biografcentralen) | National site for independent cinemas, free to join, listing over 250 cinemas and integrated with five box office systems; Biografcentralen also sells cinema websites from 870 kr a month | Where audiences find independent programmes, gift cards and member tickets | Your own site sells alongside it |
| Nortic | General ticketing platform with cinema (Bio) among its event types | Sells cinema tickets among other event types | New integration, about a month |
| Filmstaden | Circuit owned by AMC Entertainment through Odeon Cinemas Group, 382 screens on 72 sites | Sweden's largest circuit, with its own apps and booking | Competitor for your audience, not a supplier |

What that means for a Swedish cinema
Swedish independents are well served at the counter and on the national portal. What bio.se cannot do, by design, is give you a brand of your own: it lists hundreds of cinemas side by side, so your programme sits one click away from everyone else's. Filmstaden, meanwhile, sells through its own apps to the same people you want to reach.
Filmgrail closes that gap. It reads films, sessions, seats and prices from your box office and writes each sale back, so bio.se, your gift cards and your reporting keep working, while your own site and app become the place your regulars book. Read MyCloudCinema alternatives, the MyCloudCinema integration, Veezi alternatives and Filmgrail vs Veezi. There is also a Swedish-language overview.
Proof: who runs on Filmgrail
Bio Bristol in Sundbyberg is an association-run quality film cinema in a building that opened in 1939 and returned to full operation in 2020. It runs its website and ticketing on Filmgrail with no IT department behind it, which is the test that matters for most Swedish föreningsbiografer.
Across the border, Filmgrail is the platform of choice for Norwegian cinemas: Bergen Kino (18 halls), Trondheim Kino (19 halls, owned by the municipality) and Aurora Kino in northern Norway run their websites, native apps and ticketing on it, and so do BIFF and the Norwegian International Film Festival. Same Nordic audience habits, same kind of operator, same software.
Why Swedish cinemas choose Filmgrail
Swedish audiences book on their phones and expect to pay in a tap. Filmstaden already gives them an app for that. Filmgrail gives a Folkets Bio, a municipal cinema or a family-run independent the same front door.
Your brand, not a shared booking page
Your own website on your own domain, with a proper page for every film, your events and series, and a checkout in your colours. Not a portal or widget that looks the same for every cinema on it, and that can show your customer the cinema down the road.
Native iOS and Android apps included
Your cinema on the moviegoer's home screen, running on the same CMS as the website, with push when a saved film goes on sale. Most cinemas have no app at all; in our crawl of 1,189 cinema websites only 7% linked to one.
Flat price, no per-ticket fees
From $200 to $20,000 a year, flat per screen. Our price does not rise with your attendance, so a sold-out weekend costs you nothing extra.
Your box office stays
Filmgrail reads films, sessions, seats and prices from the box office you already run and writes each sale back. No counter migration, no retraining, no change to your reporting.
Live in weeks
A few weeks when we already integrate your box office and payment provider; about a month when we connect a new one.
Local payments, loyalty and Insights
Swedish moviegoers expect Swish, cards, Apple Pay and Google Pay, and many pay through Klarna. We integrate your payment provider rather than forcing ours on you. Member pricing, push campaigns and audience analytics sit in the same customer record as the sale.
The Swedish market
Swedish admissions fell from 10.3 million to 9.8 million in 2025, while Norway and Denmark grew, according to UNIC figures in our European cinema statistics. In a shrinking market, the cinemas that hold their audience are the ones their regulars can reach in one tap. Filmstaden's 382 screens make it one of the largest brands inside AMC's Odeon Cinemas Group (see the largest cinema chains).
Swedish exhibitors meet at Sveriges Biografägareförbund's congress days in Stockholm, the Nordic Film Market at Göteborg Film Festival and Stockholm Industry Days; see cinema industry events for dates.
Published pricing in US dollars, from a single screen to a large circuit.
We never take a cut of your tickets. Every online sale costs the same as the last.
A few weeks if we already integrate your box office and payment provider; about a month for a new one.
The same flat logic for festivals: website, apps, passes and ticketing, no per-ticket fee.
Pricing and setup
Pricing is published and flat: from $200 a year for a single screen to $20,000 a year for a large circuit, per screen, with no per-ticket fees (see pricing). A mid-size film festival pays about $5,000 a year. If we already integrate your box office and payment provider you can be live in a few weeks; a provider we have not connected before takes about a month.
See your own cinema on it before you talk to anyone: the free cinema website prototype builds a version of your site from its current address. Then book a demo against your real programme.
Frequently asked questions
What is the best cinema ticketing software in Sweden?
For what your audience sees, Filmgrail. Keep the kassasystem you run, whether MyCloudCinema, Veezi or another, and put Filmgrail's branded website, native iOS and Android apps and checkout on top, at a flat price per screen with no per-ticket fees. Bio Bristol in Sundbyberg and most of Norway's large independent operators already do.
Does Filmgrail work with MyCloudCinema?

From $200 a year for a single screen to $20,000 a year for a large circuit, flat per screen, with no per-ticket fees. Prices are set in US dollars. A mid-size film festival pays about $5,000 a year.
