NOTHING IS EVER SOLD OUT!

When you’re browsing the HIFF34 Film Guide, don’t be discouraged if advanced tickets are no longer available —there’s still hope!

Some of the films screening at HIFF34 are going to be more in demand than others; that’s just the way it is. But remember: just because advance tickets are no longer available for a particular screening, you still have a very good shot at seeing the movies you want.

For each screening at the Festival, a Rush Line will form at the event venue approximately 30 minutes before the scheduled start time. About 5 minutes before the scheduled start time, we will start to admit ticket-buyers from the Rush Line, based on availability inside the venue.
