DINE AND DISCOVER VOUCHERS AT RITZ

Ritz will be accepting your Discover vouchers, issued by the NSW government, until July 2022. Present your Discover voucher (that’s the red one) at the Ritz box office to redeem $25 worth of movie tickets and snacks.

Plus, you can also use your voucher to save with our DISCOVER TICKET DEAL! In exchange for one $25 voucher you can grab two tickets to regular sessions. Members also receive a bonus choctop when claiming. That's a saving of up to $11!

*Please note this deal is only available in cinema.

Vouchers can be used to redeem all movie tickets and movie snacks, with the exception of alcoholic beverages.
Vouchers can be used at all times, including on public holidays, weekends, event screenings and films marked NFT.
Discover vouchers may only be redeemed at the cinema – online redemptions are not available.
If your purchase is over $25 covered by the voucher, the rest can be paid with regular payment methods.
If your purchase is under $25, the unused money will be forfeited.
You can’t use both of your Discover vouchers on the same day, but you can come back another day to redeem the second one.
You can use your Discover voucher in conjunction with a friend or family member’s voucher.

Ritz members will also have their membership extended by 108 days to reflect the duration of lockdown (June 25 - October 11).

Please contact us for any questions, but note that due to staff still working from home, there may be a slight delay in our response time. We appreciate your patience and understanding during this time.
