Attention Kanopy lovers! Starting November 1, Kanopy is making their credits more transparent by switching to tickets. You will get 16 tickets to use each month, and the titles you choose to watch will tell you how many tickets it costs. And watching trailers is still free! Pressing Play on a title will cost you the amount of tickets listed next to the movie or TV show. Not ready to spend them? Put it on your Watchlist!
