Policies

Refunds and Exchanges

 

The Lindsay is happy to refund tickets more than 24 hours in advance of the film’s show time.

If you need to change the time or title on a ticket, team members are happy to provide a “swap” if seats are still available. In instances where seats are no longer available, the Theater will provide a refund.

 

Emergency Delays and/or Cancellations

 

Severe weather or disruptions in utilities, including water, sewage and electrical service, may prompt cancellations or delays in scheduled programs. The Theater will notify patrons of cancellations or delays through our website, as much in advance as possible; those who already hold a ticket are eligible for a credit.

Green Space

 

Theater facilities are constructed on land owned by Sewickley Borough. This long-term lease agreement involves only the Theater building and its adjacent sidewalk ramps. All other parts of the property, including the entranceway and the green space, is under the management of Sewickley Borough; questions about use of this space should be directed to borough offices.

 

Rating Guidelines

 

Using The Motion Picture Association of America’s rating system and its suggested suitability of films for certain ages as a guideline, The Lindsay prefers that parents accompany younger patrons when they purchase tickets for R-rated films. The Theater also understands that one parent may bring a group of younger patrons, their own children and the children’s friends to the show. Our crew members routinely will ask young moviegoers’ their ages and if their parents or guardians know they are attending the film. This process will be in place for each R-rated film, at the Theater’s discretion. As a community asset, the Theater works in good faith with patrons of all ages.

 

Theater Etiquette

 

As a nonprofit organization, this Theater was established in a spirit of service and intended as an asset for all residents of our region. Please help us preserve this resource by behaving in a way that respects property, staff and fellow patrons in the Theater.

Electronic Device-free Zone

 

The Lindsay is committed to providing a great experience for patrons who come for films and events. Our policy is to be a cell phone, tablet and device-free zone once the previews/introductions start.

 

Late Arrivals

 

The Theater limits previews to 5-7 minutes before features begin. Late arrivals will be seated at the Theater’s discretion.

 

Firearms

 

Firearms, knives and other weapons are prohibited. No fake weapons of any kind are permitted.

 

Bags

 

Groups generally cannot take backpacks and bookbags into the Theater. Bags may be searched by the staff before a patron enters the Theater. If the patron refuses the search request, this individual will not be admitted and police will be contacted.

Loud and/or Disruptive Behavior

 

Theater staff will ask the patron to stop the offending behavior. If the behavior continues, the individual(s) will be escorted from the Theater/event. No refunds will be provided. This policy allows other patrons to enjoy the films and events. If a patron has a history of repetitively being disruptive, (s)he may be banned from future events.

For Your Eyes Only

 

The use of recording devices—including cameras, video recorders, audio recorders, etc.—is not permitted during screenings. This is a felony charge involving piracy and film theft. The lobby and posters outside the Theater set the stage for your social media posts.

No Smoking

 

Smoking, tobacco and e-cigarettes (vapes) are prohibited inside The Lindsay’s public spaces, work spaces and outside within 15 feet of our doors, based on Allegheny County Health Department regulations and state law.
