FAQ
What time can I arrive?
We cannot place cars prior to the advertised time for opening doors. Cars will be placed on a first come first served basis, apart from those that have paid for reserved parking . Trucks and SUVS will be placed so they do not restrict the view of those behind.
How do I redeem my ticket?
Upon purchase, ticket will be emailed to you as a PDF attachment from Eventbrite. When you arrive to the event, please show the attendant the bar code on your ticket through your car window, either by holding up your printed version, or by displaying it on your phone or smart device. Attendant will scan it to check you in, and you’ll be good to go!
Do I need FM radio in my car?
YES! This is a “silent-style” Drive-In event, with no speakers. The film’s soundtrack will be accessible exclusively through your car’s FM Radio, for maximum social-distance safety. We will provide you with the FM station upon arrival. Make sure your car has an FM radio so you can hear the film!
Can I bring in food / snacks?
YES, you are welcome to bring your own food & refreshments
Remember to turn your engine on every once in a while…
As you will be running your battery non-stop so that you can listen to the film on FM, you run the risk of killing your battery. We are always ready to go with the jumper cables for those who need them! But to eliminate the risk of your battery dying, remember to turn your car on every once in a while.
But mind your headlights!
Some cars have headlights that automatically turn on when the engine is turned over. There’s generally a setting to eliminate that — please make an effort to switch that setting so that your headlights don’t beam on when you power on your car, as headlights wipe out the image on the screen. We will have cardboard and tablecloths on hand for cars that may need help with this — let an attendant know if you need materials to cover your headlights.
Mind your dome lights and brake pedal.
We understand that sometimes you have to flick on the dome light to look for something in your car, but please don’t have your dome light on for a stretched period of time — and certainly, not through the entire film. Any light proves very distracting to the audience around you. And lastly — we understand that it sometimes feels instinctual to do so, but please make an effort to keep your foot off your brake pedal. In a dark environment, brake lights provide quite the surprising glow.
Can I put my convertible top down / sit in my truck bed or Can I throw the hatch of my hatchback up and sit in the back to watch the show?
– You can sit in your convertible with the top down.
– Please note that SUV’s and trucks will be parked to the sides of the middle area, or along the back rows, to minimize obstruction.
