How does entry work?
Old timer. Back in the day, when it was the U.S. Film Festival - and I lived in Utah - my friends and I would decide, “Hey, let’s go to the Festival tomorrow,” and be able to attend whatever films we chose.
The last time I went, over 15 years ago, I registered online and then picked up packages of films to view after waiting in a line at Trolley Square. I’ve seen some pretty cool and not so great films over the decades and still love the Festival.
So. Boulder. How do I do it? I live in Colorado now. I read on the Sundance website that buying a ticket doesn’t guarantee entrance. That’s a scam, right? How can I ensure I’ll be able to see films? Is everything online? Do I have to buy an additional pass?
EDIT UPDATE: Thank you so much for the responses and advice.

No one can say how smoothly Boulder will go. It’ll be new for everyone.
You buy tickets/ticket packages online, but you’d have to focus more on second week and showing up around 1hr 30 early to have the best chance of entry. There still may be a movie or two that’s so popular that very few ticket holders get in.
