Buy Like A Pro
Choosing from so many movies and panels may seem a bit daunting at first, but with these helpful tips under your belt, you can glide through the Festival like a pro.
Consider a Pass or Package - Consider a pass or ticket package, which gets you a greater level of access and lets you bypass the line of people waiting to pay cash for their tickets. Best of all, you can buy one right now! Restriction: Pass does not guarantee admission until used to secure actual show ticket at the event.
Know Your Movies - The Charlotte Film Festival will show too many movies for our Box Office attendants and other volunteers to be familiar with every one of them. Your best bet is to pick what you want to see by researching the listings in this program. Decision-making should be a lot easier once you've mapped out your options.
Have Backup Choices - By mapping out optional movie, panel, and time selections beforehand, you're sure to have a Plan B in case your first choice appears as "Door Sales Only". You may even end up liking your alternate choice more than the original.
Pick Up Your Tickets Early - Avoid long lines at the venues' Will Call desks by picking up your online tickets as early in the day as you can.
Arrive Early - The Charlotte Film Festival offers passes and "General Admission" admission tickets in addition to regular screenings tickets, so you MUST arrive at least 20 minutes prior to your event start time to guarantee admission.
Some screenings may contain mature subject matter. Please check listings. Parental discretion is advised.
