If you want to buy a ticket for a same-day movie, go straight to the place where that movie will be showing. The tickets for the entire day go on sale one half-hour before the first show of the day at that venue.

Check your wallet or visit the closest ATM before arriving at the movies - venue ticket sales are cash only.

If you order your tickets in advance, all of the tickets you purchase will be available for pickup at your first movie’s screening venue. If you don’t pick them up there, you must call the Festival Box Office to re-route the tickets to your next venue - this will not happen automatically.

AT THE THEATER...

You must be present to take a seat. Seating is on a first-come, first-served basis. There is no "standing room" admission at any Festival film or program.

Screenings start within five minutes of the scheduled time - however, the Festival cannot be held accountable for late starts.

Please silence your wrappers, voices, communication devices and alarms to ensure a quality audience experience.

...who can answer many of your questions and make the festival possible by donating their time. Please be patient, and don’t forget to thank them for their efforts.

GETTING HERE...

To start the film on time, we must seat as many people as possible in a very short time.

Allow plenty of time for your transportation, especially on weekend nights. The Festival Map on the next page shows theaters, party venues, discounted parking and Septa subway stops.

The Festival attracts thousands of people, so don’t be surprised by lines that extend outside – and prepare accordingly.

For outdoor screenings, check www.phillycinema.org for cancellation information in the event of inclement weather.
