How Your Badge Works
· Get in Line! Line up in the exclusive Badge Holders Line 30 minutes before showtime.
· Grab your seat FIRST! Badge holders are the only patrons admitted to the theater until 15 minutes before showtime.
· Don’t worry! 15 minutes before showtime, it’s the ticket holders’ turn. Badge holders arriving after the 15-minute mark must wait until the ticket holder line is admitted. Any seats unfilled by ticket holders are yours!
· Seats reserved for VIP badge holders are held until the scheduled showtime.
· Fest Venues = Fest Rules | Badge admittance policies will be adhered to at all venues, for all screenings – not just sellouts! No matter what you’re seeing, you’ll always have priority admission to the theater until 15 minutes before showtime. Get there early!
