We anticipate that door sales will be available for most sessions, however this cannot be guaranteed. Patrons are urged to purchase their tickets in advance to avoid disappointment. Reduced seating capacities due to government restrictions may result in limited tickets being on sale and this may change if more tickets are released at a later date. Updates will be provided via festival and venue websites and we encourage patrons to follow us on social media for the most current information.
Patrons are encouraged to collect booked tickets 30 minutes prior to the session to avoid queues.
Palace Cinema passes and other complimentary passes, cinema promotions and free ticket offers are not valid for festival screenings.
