Types of Tickets

Festival Pass

Are you a cinephile? If you plan on seeing several films during the festival, consider buying a Festival Pass for an unlimited film experience. They’re convenient and can save you money.

Student Rate

General Tickets

Single tickets are available at two price points for any general screening. Adult and Student/Youth. Show your valid student ID for discounted single tickets or festival passes.

General 10-Pack

The 10-Pack is a perfect way to see a lot of movies while saving some money. Pick up your bundle at the box office and start redeeming online or in-person with 10 ticket vouchers that can be used for any general screening.

Premium Tickets

The buzzworthy screenings of films that will only play once at the festival. Want to see what all the hype is about? Join us for the Opening Night Film, The Tragically Hip Special Event, Closing Night Film, or the Centrepiece Film and experience why these films are being talked about.

Premium 3-Pack

Have fear of missing out on our premium screenings? Buy a Premium 3-Pack and save money while you’re at it. Pick up your bundle and start redeeming in-person with 3 ticket vouchers that can be used for any premium screening.

Women of WIFF

Join our grassroots initiative by supporting our Women of WIFF special screening. For a special price, you can become a Women of WIFF donor and get a ticket to the movie and an invite to an exclusive post-film reception.

Rush Tickets

Sometimes advance tickets are sold out, but don’t despair. There is a chance that a limited number of “rush tickets” will be available at the box office just before showtime.

If you want to explore this option, arrive at the box office early and join the “rush line.” Be advised: When this line is admitted, it will be one ticket per person — you won’t be able to buy tickets for anyone who isn’t present. No guarantees of entry.
