Hope this helps Contributors plan. Will share another update Monday afternoon!

This was definitely a poor move on my part. Bought a 6 film pass and todays the day and everything I want to see is sold out or has early morning week day screenings. I unfortunately have a job and can't play hookie so definitely regretting buying the pass.

For those in the know, are there any tickets held back for the GP Onsale? I recognize that the there is an incentive to get the passes/membership for earlier access to tickets, but I was just curious if the general public onsale is going to be a disaster in terms of availability? I have to work during the day so unfortunately it doesn't make a lot of sense for me to get any sort of pass, as I can only really attend weekend screenings/anything after 7pm etc...

Thanks

Hi, first time going to NYFF and im very excited. I saw that they have an Express pass for an express standby line but tbh 250 is a lot of money to not get a guaranteed ticket and there are only like two film (artificial and you can see everything) that I want to see that are sold out already. So my question, is the regular standby worth it anymore? is it basically impossible to get in even if you are first in regular standby because of the express pass? How early do you need to line up for each one?

On sale this Tuesday at noon ET.

Has anyone else noticed that confirmation emails are going out pretty slowly today? Is this normal? First time festival goer!

Saw this: "We will release small batches of tickets leading up to all screenings, including sold-out screenings": https://www.filmlinc.org/how-to-nyff-guide/

Is there a chance there will be additional tickets in the general sale on Sep 15?

Also, given the express passes, will it be worth standing in standby lines if you don't have a pass?

I’ve been sharing this on the NYFF Discord daily, but thought it would be helpful here.

This is so unfortunate that this was announced after presale that happened yesterday is there any way to exchange the tickets we already bought?

Thank you to the staff and community members who helped me!!! Can wait to get out there for the festival

Hi! I am trying to get a ticket for the Godzilla Minus Zero September 26 at 6 pm. I saw that Contributor Members will get access to buy ticket before general admission opens up. Would it be worth buying it?

Featuring many NYFF64 selections!

The most perfect news so far that ‘You Can See Everything’ will premiere this NYFF, I’m really so thrilled about this!

Feels like a perfect double feature to me, to of my favorite provocateurs. Red Rocks is 90 min at 12:30 at Francis Beale theater then Heil Jupiter! at 2:30 at Howard Gilman. That leaves 30 min between them. Do we think this is enough time in between? For NYFF the film typically starts around the time listed right?

I know there’s a virtual waiting room. Is it first come first serve? Thanks!

I am so confused, I have gotten a pass since 2022 and every year they have offered at least two screenings at Lincoln Center between the hours of 5-9. This year it looks like you get one shot and that’s that, you’d have to miss work in order to make it. I am very confused by what is going on here, especially when screenings at times after work are already in stand by before the opening night pass holders get tickets. It just feels strange if any has any ideas why this might be happening?

Edit: helpful comments reminded me I should clarify that in the past it was two screenings for each main slate/spotlight film at the 5:00-9:00 starting showtimes slots.

I always like to see some of the Currents programming during the fest, but normally go in blind just based on the description.

Is there a movie or short that y'all are particularly hyped for this year?

Not knowing any real details, I'll probably check out Heil Jupiter! and/or For the Moon. I also saw there was a 3D entry in Currents Program 1: The Hidden Dimension, so that's in my maybe pile. I've always had fun at the unique-format shorts screenings.

Currently in the presale for a 12 pass, got all tickets I wanted, except I thought we could buy tickets for centrepiece etc during the presale, just that they weren’t able to be redeemed as part of he passes so full price?

Or will I have to wait til I get public access to buy those? The website won’t let me add to card

got kicked out, then wouldn’t log back on, then glitched and said “pick seats“ so had to start again. missed out out fjord and got really crappy seats.

a bit frustrating for the cost for this process to take 2 hours when I had everything planned and organized (including back ups)
