FAQ’s about Ticket & Package Purchases

Why won’t my promo code work?

Promo codes have a variety of restrictions, please make sure you read the fine print on the promo code you are trying to apply. Promo codes are case sensitive, please make sure that you are entering your code correctly. Finally, promo codes are subject to limited quantities, if you are seeing an error indicating that the maximum number of uses has been met then that code is no longer available.

Why can’t I add more packages to my cart?

Most packages are limited to 2 per account, any added above this quantity must be sent as gifts at the time of purchase.

Why is it making me send a product as a gift?

There is a limit of 2 of any package type per account, you must gift any purchased over this limit at the time of purchase. Please ensure that you have the correct email address for your recipient when sending a package as a gift.

How to Transfer

There are a few different ways to gift/transfer your ticketing items. First let’s go over your ticketing limits!

- You are allowed to purchase 2 of any Ticket Package. You can keep both for yourself OR you can gift/transfer one or both. You MUST transfer a full Ticket Package at time of Purchase. You will not be able to do so later!
- You are allowed to purchase or redeem up to 4 tickets to a specific screening. As you are only allowed to keep one ticket for yourself, you will be prompted to gift/transfer any “extras.”

Time of Purchase Transfer (Gifting)

To gift/transfer one of your ticket packages at time of purchase, you do so by checking the “This is a Gift” box located under the ticketing item name. Information boxes will appear where you can enter the information for the recipient of your gifted ticket package.
If you would like to gift Single Film Tickets at time of purchase, the “This is a Gift” box will be automatically checked for any “extra” tickets besides the 1 you can keep for yourself. If you would like to transfer the 1 you are allowed to keep in your account, you can click the “This is a Gift” box and transfer all tickets.

Transferring from Profile

If you would like to transfer a ticket after it has been purchased, you can do so by going to your profile and navigating to the “Festival” tab.
Click on the three horizontal dots beside the ticket and click “Transfer Ticket.” A pop up will appear where you can enter the information of the recipient.

Please note: Each ticket can only be transferred once, so prior to transferring please verify you are using the correct email address and that the recipient is intending to use the ticket for themselves.

Accepting a Transfer

You will receive an email letting you know a ticket has been transferred to you.
When you log into your account you will see the transferred ticket on your profile under the “Festival” tab.
To accept the transfer, click “Accept Ticket.”
If you would like to decline the transferred ticket, click on the three horizontal dots and click “Decline Ticket.”
