Membership FAQs
How long does membership last?
Membership lasts one year from the day you sign up. To ensure you never miss out on your membership benefits, sign up for a recurring membership. We’ll notify you a month in advance and then automatically charge your credit card when it’s time to renew.
Do I have to be a member to attend events?
No. Most AFS events are open to the public, but members get the best ticket prices and first notice of everything we show. Members-only events include free Sneak Peeks and quarterly Member Mixers. Lovers and Premiere Circle members get preferred seating, and every member gets extra tickets for friends—after all, movies are best when enjoyed with a group.
Can I pay for my membership in installments?
Yes. For memberships over $100, give us a call at 512-322-0145 x3221 to set up your monthly or quarterly plan.
Is my membership tax deductible?
Yes. You’ll be provided the value of goods and services for your tax records.
