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.

We have changed our ticketing agency this season so you may experience difficulty redeeming online. Read the previous FAQ regarding gift vouchers from previous seasons whose voucher code begins with 2019 or 2020. If still having problems please phone us on 0403 560 684 between 10am and 6pm Monday to Friday (excluding Public Holidays).
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.
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.

The DOUBLE package ($99) includes:

Whilst the standard option is for a Domino’s Supreme pizza, we do allow patrons to request a Vegetarian pizza and/or gluten-minimal instead for dietary reasons. Similarly, we allow deductions from the Supreme pizza for dietary reason.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
No, you can use them at any time (with some restrictions) in any number across multiple screenings.
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.
Telethon Community Cinemas is an all-weather outdoor event. All screenings will proceed in rain, wind, or shine unless weather conditions pose a serious risk to the safety of patrons and crew. If we cancel a screening all tickets are valid for any other screening (with restrictions) at any venue for any future screening even beyond the current Season. We do not provide refunds as such.
We will:
We wait until the latest Bureau of Meteorology forecast that arrives around 4:30pm plus assess the rain radar before making a decision if the situation is unclear. If, earlier, the rain has settled in the session is likely to be cancelled at that time.
Telethon Community Cinemas allows its patrons to transfer their ticketing at any time, for any reason, up to 5:45pm on the night of the screening to any future screening with similar price points. Select the header Ticket Information on our website and then from the dropdown menu click on Change My Booking. Follow the instructions to change your booking.
If you do not change your booking and the screening proceeds the responsibility and decision, not to have been pro-active in changing your booking, is deemed to have been yours.

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.
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.
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.

Still can’t find your ticket? Contact us on 0403 560 684 10am to 6pm Monday to Friday (excluding Public Holidays) OR email info@communitycinemas.com.au noting that there may be a delay in replying.

Group Discounts must be pre-arranged.
A general admission or concession ticket gives you entry to the cinema but does not include seating which is perfect if you are going picnic style. There is a limited number of free sling-back style seats at Joondalup on a non-reserve basis.
