Seating at all Festival events is first come, first served. With a VIP ticket, guests get priority seating and may enter the venue first and claim their seats. The early entry period begins when the doors open, approximately 15 minutes before general admission ticket holders have access. Areas at the mainstage will also be cordoned off for VIPs to sit until 15 minutes before the show when they are released to the general admissions. A VIP ticket does not guarantee a particular seat. Please arrive to your desired film screening early for best chance at securing a seat.
