TICKETING FAQ's:

NEW THIS YEAR: Whether you're making your PASS purchase ONLINE or IN PERSON, you will receive a bar-coded e-Ticket. DON'T LOSE THIS E-TICKET! When passes are available in September, you'll be able to exchange your e-ticket for your Official Pass & Lanyard. Watch our website & e-newsletter updates for news on WHEN & WHERE Passes will be available for PICK-UP.

HERE'S HOW IT WORKS:

If you'd like to pay by Visa or Mastercard, no need to come in to the office - just purchase online and print off your e-ticket.

REEL DEAL 'All Access' Festival Pass: Purchase your REEL DEAL Pass online and you will receive an E-TICKET, which you will need to exchange for your PASS in September. We will update THIS SITE when passes are available for pick-up, with full instructions on WHERE and WHEN you can pick up your pass. If you purchase online and enter a valid email address through YEG Live, you'll also receive an emailed reminder when passes are available for pickup.

Passes are good for access to ALL EIFF 2011 films, including Special Presentations, Opening Night, and Closing Night Films. A REEL DEAL Pass also gives you access to ALL EIFF parties, including Opening & Closing Night.

6-Packs: your e-ticket is good for up to SIX individual tickets - share them with friends, or use them all yourself...the choice is yours. On the day of your screening, simply present your 6-Pack e-ticket at the door, and EIFF staff and volunteers will scan you in. It's really that simple! 6-Pack tickets are good for ALL REGULAR SCREENINGS.  That's all films priced at $15 or less.  The ONLY films you won't be able to get into with a 6-PACK are OPENING and CLOSING NIGHT films (and after-parties following these 2 films). 

Subway® Lunchbox Shorts 5-Pack: your e-ticket is good for up to FIVE individual tickets - share them with friends, or use them all yourself...the choice is yours. On the day of your screening, simply present your 5-Pack e-ticket at the door, and EIFF staff and volunteers will scan you in. It's really that simple!
