FAQ

Have questions about the switch to Showpass? You’re in the right place. This FAQ covers everything you need to know about your membership, account setup, and more.

  • Your current membership card will still serve as proof of membership and expiry date. However, you will also receive an email with a link to download your new digital membership. If you are unable to retrieve the digital membership, rest assured, your name is searchable in our system. So even if you forget or are unable to download the digital card, you will still be granted admission and access to our programming. 

  • To create an account, go to the Showpass website and select 'Create Account' in the top right. You’ll be prompted to log in using your Facebook credentials or manually enter your details to set up an account.

  • No, your current membership, benefits, and its expiration date will remain the same. All your membership information (name and contact information) will be automatically transferred to the new system. There’s no action required on your part for this process.

  • Once you receive your email confirmation, you’ll see an option to add your membership to your digital wallet. Select 'Add to Wallet', which will open a prompt in your device’s browser. Log in to your Showpass account, and you’ll be able to add your membership to your Apple or Google Wallet from there.

  • No you do not have to set up an account with Showpass however we recommend doing so that you can register for our events and other programming we offer and to renew your membership after its expiry.

  • If you already have a Showpass account under a different email than the one used for your Contemporary Calgary membership, you can request to merge or transfer your membership to your preferred Showpass account.

    Additionally, family memberships can be linked so all members have access.
