There are three blocks of programs. Voices Heard, Juried Part 1 and Juried Part 2. Please be sure that your friends and family know the program block that your film is in. The Avalon did list the films for each block, but the type is a bit small and some might not see it.

Also, please be sure to tell them that the Avalon has a strict policy on refunds and exchanges.   

TICKET REFUNDS AND EXCHANGES - The Avalon Theater/Neighborhood Theater Group Refund Policy.

Tickets are valid only for the film, theater, showtime and date specified. Refunds and exchanges are available in person at the theater for which the ticket was purchased before the showtime and date on that ticket. 

Purchases made online can additionally be refunded and exchanged in person before the showtime and date on the ticket. Refunds will not be provided after the showtime and date specified on the ticket.

We are suggesting everyone to arrive up to 30 minutes earlier. Our shows have sold out in the past and you want to be sure that you can sit with your group. 

Prices:

The Avalon has priced the tickets at a reasonable $11.00, a price lower than the average ticket price in the city. But if you purchase a ticket online there is a surcharge of $1.00. 

Parking:

The Avalon does not have their own parking space. It is all street parking. Please come early.  Again, we are suggesting everyone to arrive up to 30 minutes earlier since our shows have sold out in the past.
