Wenxin’s planning notes

  • Buy only through the official Denver Film or AXS ticket link and check availability again before traveling.
  • Review Red Rocks parking, bag, food, drink, weather, and prohibited-item rules before packing.
  • Bring layers and rain protection appropriate for an exposed evening venue; umbrellas can interfere with other guests and venue rules.
