What does "No Free Tickets" mean?
"No Free Tickets" is a restriction imposed by the film distribution companies for selected films upon their release. It means that no special complimentary coupons or offers are valid for use on that specific film until the restriction has been lifted. Generally, the "No Free Tickets" restriction will last only 1-2 weeks after the film's release, although there are exceptions.
There are no restrictions on using 'movie money' pre-paid vouchers to purchase tickets for a film that is restricted "No Free Tickets".
The Digital Sound system provides six channels of crystal clear digital surround sound. Left, center and right channels in front of you provide precise, clear positioning of dialogue. Separate or "discrete" left and right surround channels on the side and in the rear immerse you in the film with atmospherics and ambient sounds. And a subwoofer/bass effects channel contributes extra punch to action and special effects sequences.
What do the different Ratings mean?
In this country, films are given a censorship rating by a statutory authority, the Office of Film and Literature Classification. These classifications assist adults to make informed decisions about the movies they choose to view, by providing advice which is consistent with community standards. After classification, it is then the responsibility of exhibitors to display the ratings appropriately and to enforce any restrictions.
In Australia, films for cinema exhibition are
classified with one of the following ratings:
[G] - For general exhibition
Suitable for all viewers. Parents should feel comfortable that children can
watch these movies without supervision. Access to these films is open to persons
of any age.
[PG] - Parental guidance recommended for persons under 15 years
This classification indicates to parents that their guidance is recommended for
children seeing the film, but access is unrestricted. Movies classified [PG]
will not be harmful or disturbing to children.
[M] - Mature. Recommended for mature audiences 15 years and over
It is recommended that any persons under 15 years of age be accompanied by an
adult when seeing this film, as content is considered to be potentially
disturbing to those under this age. However access to [M] rated films is legally
unrestricted, as the classification is only advisory.
[MA] - Mature Accompanied. Restrictions apply to persons under the age of 15
This classification is legally restricted. Children under 15 will not be
permitted to see [MA] movies unless in the company of a parent or adult
guardian. Cinema staff may ask for proof of age identification, and are entitled
to refuse service if this is not produced.

under 18 years of age will be allowed in to the cinema at all. Cinema staff are
