The Fine Print
Rush Tickets
Rush tickets are available for all films - including those for which all advance tickets are sold out - 15 minutes prior to show time. Rush ticket lines are formed at each theatre, approximately one hour prior to showtime. If you are waiting to purchase tickets in a rush line, please have your payment and any discount cards ready (including student IDs). Please note that ALL rush lines are CASH ONLY. Tickets are subject to availability; there is no guaranteed number of rush tickets available.
Will Call
Will Call (pre-purchased ticket pick-up) is located at the Atlantic Film Festival Box Office during regular box office hours. At Empire Theatres Park Lane, 45 minutes before each screening, Will Call is available on the lower level of Park Lane Mall, next to the Empire Theatres Box Office. All pre-purchased tickets may be picked up at Will Call. Voucher holders may also exchange their vouchers for tickets at Will Call.
Pass Holders
Badge and pass holders with barcodes on their badge / pass are advised to arrive up to 45 minutes, and no later than 15 minutes, before the screening. Badge and pass holders may proceed to the theatre doors and must have their badge / pass scanned to gain entry to the theatre. A generous number of seats are held for pass holders for each screening, and priority is given to them until that allotment has been reached-or 15 minutes prior to screening time, at which time Rush Tickets become available to the public. Badges and passes are non-transferable and non-refundable.
Late Comers
All Festival screenings will start on time. There are no refunds or exchanges on tickets or Festival passes. All ticket holders must be at the theatre 15 minutes prior to the start of the film. Management reserves the right to refuse admission to latecomers. Seats are not guaranteed past showtime.
Back-to-Back Screenings
All theatres must empty between screenings to provide for cleaning. However, ticket holders may certainly wait outside the theatre without leaving the venue so they don't have to re-enter a ticket line.
Program Changes
All programs are subject to change. There are no refunds or exchanges on tickets or Festival passes, unless a screening is cancelled by the Festival. In the event that a screening is cancelled, the Festival will refund or exchange the ticket.
Resale of Tickets
An unlicensed vendor who has not been assessed for business occupancy can be liable under the City of Halifax Ordinance #149. As per Section 10 (1): A person who violates or fails to comply with any provision of this Ordinance shall be guilty of an offence, and, upon summary conviction, shall be liable to a fine of not more than two thousand dollars, and, in default of payment, to imprisonment for a period not exceeding sixty days.
