Other Box Office Information

Rush Tickets

Rush tickets are available for all films, 15 minutes prior to showtime. 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, Rush Seating is CASH ONLY at all theatres.

Will Call

Will Call is located at the 29th Atlantic Film Festival Box Office and at each theatre, 45 minutes prior to the first screening. All pre-purchased tickets may be picked up at Will Call. Badge and pass holders will also line up at Will Call at the theatre, to show their badge or pass to gain entry to the film.

Pass Holders

Pass holders are advised to arrive up to 45 minutes, and no later than 15 minutes, before the screening. Pass holders must show their pass at Will Call to gain entry to 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. Passes are non-transferable and non-refundable. Subject to capacity.

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.
