Frequently Asked Questions

When we facilitate an outdoor event, we are subject to weather. Wind is a bigger challenger then rain, our screens can only really handle a certain capacity so winds over 35km/h we will cancel the event. Please check our Facebook or our website for weather information per event. The rain is an easier thing to manage as light rain is a yes but torrential thunderstorms or a no go and the event will also be cancelled or postponed. In the event of a weather cancellation and there is no show, we will offer a full refund through online platform that you purchased our offering for that specific show.

Please note that the weather in the area is always changing and Open Plan Pictures cannot be accountable to the sudden changes in the environment. We have our best people trying to forecast that our evenings are ging to proceed, but inevitably we cannot control this, and we urge our patrons to keep a watch. 

We are firm believers in customer satisfaction and experience. In the event of a cancellation, we will refund you. We are working with several well know ticketing companies and they will manage your refund per our instructions on the event. If your show was paid at the door and the show does not complete itself, we will refund you straight or away or offer you a comp for another evening.
Our only criteria are that refunds must be claimed within 5 working days of the event or else you lose the option.
