Gift Vouchers & Complimentary Tickets

Do gift vouchers or complimentary gate admissions have a use by date?

All our gift vouchers purchased after 1 July 2018 do NOT have an expiry date as we believe you should receive what you have received or purchased. Value Card coupons also NEVER EXPIRE. However, Value Card $8 Ticket Discount Cards and Complimentary Gate Admissions expire at the end of Season and must be used by the date stated. Please contact us if you have any questions.

I am having problems redeeming my gift voucher online. Help!

We have changed our ticketing agency this season so you may experience difficulty redeeming online. Please phone us on 0403 560 684 between 10am and 6pm Monday to Friday (excluding Public Holidays).

I can't use my gift voucher at certain screenings. Why?

Sessions marked NLG are not available for Telethon La Grassiere due to either being a special event with special pricing (such as Valentine’s Day or other Special Event Screenings) or due to restrictions placed upon that screening by its film distributor. Restrictions may also apply to some of our other gift vouchers as well.

Can I purchase gift vouchers right now? How?

Yes, they can be ordered online (booking fee per voucher applies) for downloading and printing off. Value Cards are hard copy and be purchased online for mailing (additional charges apply) or at the Burswood venue counter. We accept telephone orders. Please phone us on 0403 560 684 between 10am and 6pm Monday to Friday (excluding Public Holidays).

We have gluten-minimal and vegan options across most of the items in the package.

Changes MUST be made by 5pm the BUSINESS WEEKDAY PRIOR to the date of your screening to give us time to make the modifications.

Please email us at info@communitycinemas.com.au with full booking/screening details and your request.

Do I need to do anything special when redeeming a gift voucher online?

When redeeming a gift voucher, refer to the instructions on the gift voucher.

With a Telethon La Grassiere gift voucher we automatically order/reserve your bean bag lounges, cheese platter and pizza/garlic bread.

How do I redeem my gift voucher, complimentary gate admission or Value Card?

You MUST redeem gift vouchers ONLINE. They will not be accepted at the gate at the venues. Simply select the screening of your choice and provide the Voucher ID when paying for your purchases.

Complimentary Gate Admissions are valid at all venues except No Free Pass screenings listed on our programme. They can be redeemed online but there are limited places available due to restrictions imposed by film companies.

Value Cards can ONLY be presented at the venue at the chosen screening. Gift vouchers and Value Cards are all valid at all venues excluding Telethon La Grassiere (Burswood venue only) and excepting where stated.

How do I use my Value Card coupons?

All Value Cards coupons can only be used at the venues. Ticket coupons & bean bag lounge hire coupons are redeemable at the Box Office. Food and drink coupons are redeemable at the Candy Bars.

What is the Value Card all about?

The Value Card entitles you to 4 admissions, 4 bean bag lounge hires, 4 standard popcorns, 4 non-alcoholic drinks and 4 ice creams to be used in whatever combination you wish. Some restrictions apply. A Value Card purchased after 1 July 2018 now has vouchers that do not expire and can be kept for next season.

In addition, there is a separate $8 Ticket Discount Card (valid only for the current season) that you can use to purchase up to 4 tickets for $8 each to screenings once your 4 admission coupons are gone. Conditions apply. All this for just $79.

Must I use all my Value Card coupons at one screening or at one time?

No, you can use them at any time (with some restrictions) in any number across multiple screenings.

Why can't I pre-book using Value Card coupons online?

Unfortunately, for all the goodies you get we had to impose a restriction or two to give value for money. One of these is that we only accept them across the counter at a venue as otherwise ticketing agency fees would apply.

A film’s running time is shown when you refer to that screening.

Can I bring the kids along?

Children are most welcome as we are an all-age venue. Please note we do screen MA15+ movies which requires children under 15 to be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.

Are infants & babies welcome?

Most certainly but if you have a very young one, we simply ask you to be conscious of other patrons should your child become restless and find a quieter place in the venue to settle them.

What should I bring?

To enjoy your outdoor cinema experience, we suggest the following things – layering up or bringing a blanket for those chillier nights and insect repellent to keep those mozzies away. We have throw rugs for sale and free insect repellent available on our counters.

Being a cashless event ensure you have your credit or debit card with you.

If you have not hired any seating you are welcome to bring your own rugs, bean bags, lawn chairs etc. Just be aware that taller chairs will be restricted to designated areas of the venue so that everyone can see the screen.

Where can I get a copy of a venue's programme?

Our programme in list form can be downloaded from the website for each venue.

Yes, you are welcome to bring bicycles or prams into the venue, however, you do so at your own risk.

Is this an accessible event?

All venues are wheelchair or restricted mobility friendly. Designated parking is located close to the entrance of the cinemas.

A Companion Card holder and their carer have complimentary admission when presenting cards at the box office on the night.

For further information, please contact us directly at admin@communitycinemas.com.au or phone 0403 560 684 M-F excluding public holidays between 10am and 6pm.

Can I bring my dog or other pets?

Sadly, no. As much as we love our furry and other pets, we have restrictions set by our venues. However, service dogs are certainly permitted provided appropriate proof can be provided.

Can I smoke or vape?

No, current laws restrict smoking within any venue or place of entertainment and we equally forbid vaping for the convenience of others. Patrons may step outside the venue to smoke or vape.

I’ve lost something at the cinema.

We do a sweep of the venue each evening so hopefully we’ve found it. Please phone 0403 560 684 10am to 6pm Monday to Friday (excluding Public Holidays) or email admin@communitycinemas.com.au
