Q: I bought a pass or subscription, now what?
A: Congratulations! A pass or subscription is a great way to take advantage of all that the New York Film Festival has to offer.
However, you aren't done yet. Patrons, Members, and General Public who purchase a subscription have the opportunity to choose the films they wish to see (as opposed to blind subscriptions in previous years). You will receive an email with a secure link and personal access code that will allow you to log on and fulfill your pass or subscription. Patrons may contact the Film Society’s Patron Office. Passes/subscriptions that are not fulfilled by purchasers before picking up their tickets will receive screening vouchers for the festival to use as they see fit.
Q: I purchased a pass or subscription but did not receive an email with information about how to make a ticket selection or purchase individual tickets. What do I do now?
A: If you are a Member, please email [email protected]. For General Public inquiries, please email [email protected].
Q: Once I login to make my ticket selection to fulfill my pass or package, will I be able to login again to make changes or additional selections?
A: No. You must make your selection AT ONE TIME, IN ONE SESSION. Seat selection is on a best available basis. You will have 60 minutes to complete your transaction. You will not be able to re-enter the site and make changes or additions to your pass selections after completing your transaction. Please visit the film guide (http://www.filmlinc.com/nyff2011/pages/lineup/) and plan your selections prior to logging in. Because some shows may not be available, we suggest having second choice screenings to select. If you are unable to fulfill your pass in one session, you will be issued vouchers for your unfulfilled tickets that can be redeemed at the Alice Tully Hall box office. Please note a voucher is not a ticket, you must redeem the voucher in advance to attending a screening.
Q: During the Member Priority Period, may I also purchase additional tickets beyond my pass or package?
A: If you wish to purchase additional tickets, you will need to follow the link for individual ticket selection and use the login and password that was emailed to you.
