Perth Pop-Up Movies
A cinema-quality outdoor movie night that fills the oval, packs the bar and raises serious money — fully managed, zero stress.
The hard part of any fundraiser is getting people through the door. A movie night under the stars sells itself.
An 8m cinema screen on your oval is the kind of thing members photograph and share. Word spreads fast — you’ll sell tickets before the posters go up.
A 3-hour movie means 3 hours of bar sales. Your existing setup keeps running — we bring the cinema, you keep all the food and drink revenue.
Movie nights attract members who skip the usual events. Families, kids, long-standing members who haven’t been in years — it’s a reunion with a screen.
Ticket sales, bar/canteen takings and a raffle. A well-run night with 300 people can clear $2,000+ in a single evening.
Intermission is perfect for a 5-minute sponsor shoutout, club announcements, award presentations or a live raffle draw. High energy, captive crowd.
End of season, mid-year fundraiser, club anniversary, presentation night warm-up — any date works. We also set up indoors for winter events.
The ticket price is just the start. Here’s how clubs consistently turn a movie night into a $2,000+ evening.
Standard general admission plus a VIP bean bag tier. Families happily pay $5–$8 extra for a reserved spot up front. Cap VIP to create urgency.
Your bar or canteen stays fully operational. 3 hours of captive audience with nowhere to be — bar revenue on a movie night is consistently higher than a normal club night.
Draw the raffle on the microphone at intermission. The whole crowd is watching and the energy is high — raffle ticket sales before the draw are consistently strong.
Sell a local business a 2-minute microphone mention at intermission. Easy ask for a local tradie, pub or real estate agent who wants to reach your members.
Fold in your end-of-season awards or club announcements. Turns the movie night into a full event — justifies a higher ticket price and boosts attendance.
Play a club highlights video or season slideshow before the main feature. Members love it, sponsors get logo exposure — a 5 minute opener that costs nothing to produce.

The more people who show up, the more you raise. Here’s what consistently works for Perth clubs.
Once when tickets open, once two weeks out with urgency, once 2 days before as a final nudge. Stagger the posts — each one reaches people who missed the last.
Use the template below — give members 4–5 weeks notice so families can plan. A movie night is a family night, so give parents time to organise babysitters or bring the kids.
A quick mention at training or a message in the team group chat reaches people who aren’t on Facebook. This is consistently the highest-converting channel.
Even if you have capacity for more, promote a limited number of VIP spots. “Only 20 VIP bean bag seats left!” drives early sales and creates urgency for standard tickets too.
Give away two VIP tickets to someone who shares your event post. Costs you $40 in ticket value and can reach hundreds of non-members in a single day.
Screening a feature film to a public audience requires a licence (~$400 via Roadshow). Presentation nights, highlight reels and slideshows do not require one.
