Buy your REEL DEAL PASSES and 6-PACKS online!

REEL DEAL Passes and 6-Packs for the upcoming 2010 EIFF are NOW AVAILABLE to purchase online through TIX on the Square, and will be available for purchase through TIX until September 30th!

Here's the scoop on passes:

OPTION A - REEL DEAL (All-Access) FESTIVAL PASS for just $119.75


The EIFF REEL DEAL (All Access) Festival Pass is your 'Cadillac' of passes - this beauty will allow you priority access into ALL films and parties throughout the festival (including Opening and Closing Night Gala), and is fully transferable. Heck, if you see just 5 movies plus our Opening and Closing Night GALAS(both of which include admission to the film and exclusive after-party!), this pass will have paid for itself! It's the best festival deal in town, and it's the only way to ensure PRIORITY seating access for every film at this year's festival!

OPTION B - 6-PACK PASS for just $69.75


The EIFF 6-PACK is a package of 6 individual tickets that you can use yourself or share with friends - these tickets are valid for ANY regularly-priced film (*Opening & Closing Galas, and Special Event screenings excluded).This is a great option if you want to check out a taste of what the festival has to offer.
