Things you should know

Gift Cards can be used at any session at all EVENT and Rialto Cinemas* and The Embassy Cinema in Wellington.

*Excludes Rialto screen at Downtown Cinemas Palmerston North.

Cards can be used until the balance reaches zero or until 12 months after the date of purchase - whichever is sooner. If a purchase exceeds the amount remaining on a Gift Card, it can be combined with cash, credit or charge card, or EFTPOS to make up the full amount.

Gift Cards are not refundable or redeemable for cash and cannot be recharged. If a purchase is less than the value loaded on the Gift Card, no change will be given.  Up to five EVENT Gift Cards can be combined to make a payment online.

Lost or stolen Gift Cards cannot be replaced or refunded. EVENT and Rialto Cinemas Limited are not liable for any lost/stolen Gift Card or for the replacement or refund of such lost/stolen Gift Cards.

A Gift Card does not represent admission to a film screening and is not a substitute for a movie ticket. A Gift Card must be presented at the relevant cinema’s ticket counter to be exchanged for a movie ticket. After a transaction any remaining stored value will remain on a Gift Card for future use until the expiry of the Gift Card.

There are no fees or charges associated with using Gift Cards.
