The ideal way to experience the Festival is by purchasing one of the four levels of passes. Festival passes offer the best chance of getting into the movies that you want to see and are the only way to attend special events, panels, Club TCM and receptions. Pass supplies are limited, so be sure to sign up for the Festival email newsletter at the bottom of our website, to receive pass sale information as it is announced. Those who wish to attend the Festival without purchasing a pass may do so by purchasing individual screening tickets on a standby basis, when available. Please note that some screenings may not have any individual tickets available. Individual tickets are not available to Opening Night Red Carpet Gala, Poolside, or Club TCM events.
Walk-up tickets for individual events will be sold on a standby basis immediately prior to the show at the venue box office for that event. We recommend that you arrive a minimum of 30 minutes prior to the event if you plan on purchasing individual tickets, as passholders will have priority entry. Please note that some screenings may not have any individual tickets available. Individual tickets are not available to the Opening Night Red Carpet Gala, Poolside, or to Club TCM events.
