Volunteer Voucher Policy for 2009
Things You Should Know....
For every two hours that you volunteer,
you receive a voucher that can be redeemed for a festival
movie ticket. Vouchers are redeemable for regular festival
films. You will have to purchase a separate ticket if
you wish to attend a gala, forum, or special event.
Five vouchers may also be redeemed for Cinema
Rhode Island membership, a $50 value. Cinema Rhode Island membership entitles you to discounts on future RIIFF
tickets, passes to advance screenings, and more.
PICKING UP VOUCHERS:
Pick up your vouchers at the RIIFF Office after working
your volunteer shift.
REDEEMING VOUCHERS:
Volunteer vouchers are redeemed at the RIIFF Box Offices.
To redeem vouchers, fill out a ticket order form at
the box office, and present the form and voucher to
the cashier. One voucher gets you a ticket for one film.
Note that vouchers are transferable. However, the
sale of RIIFF vouchers is strictly prohibited.
THE THREE-DAY RULE:
Vouchers may not be redeemed for tickets more than three
days in advance of a particular screening. This is to
prevent any one person from using their vouchers to
monopolize all of the seats allocated for volunteers.
DAY OF SHOW:
It’s a good idea to redeem your vouchers as soon
as you can, consistent with the three-day rule, because
vouchers cannot be redeemed at the box office on the
day of show. Instead, you must wait in the rush line
outside the venue where your film is playing. Your voucher
will act as your rush ticket. Day of show seating is
contingent on availability, with priority given to pass
holders and paying customers. If a screening is sold
out, you will not be able to redeem your voucher for
that show. If you have questions about day of show seating,
ask a Venue Manager on site for information.
VOUCHER EXPIRATION:
Vouchers earned during RIIFF 2009 will expire at the
end of RIIFF 2010. We are unable to replace lost
vouchers, so treat them like cash.
All vouchers earned during the 2009 Rhode Island International
Film Festival must be picked up by Friday, August 21,
2009. Any vouchers earned during this year’s festival
that are not claimed by that date will be forfeited.
