First, you need to pick up your pass from the Hot Docs Festival Box Office beginning March 20, 2018.
You can use your pass at Festival screening venues to get one ticket to as many screenings as you like*! Simply present your pass to the box office staff at the venue on the day of the screening. Once you have your ticket, you can join the ticket-holders line. You may be required to show both your Premium Pass and a ticket to access the theatre once the doors have opened.
Venue box offices open one hour before the first screening of the day, and only have tickets for the screenings happening that day.
This pass does not allow the bearer front-of-line access, priority seating or access to Hot Docs industry events/facilities.
With a ticket, seating is guaranteed until 15 minutes before showtime; no entry more than 15 minutes after showtime.
*A block of tickets are held in reserve for pass holders, and tickets are distributed on a first-come, first-served basis, subject to availability. If no pass holder tickets remain, a pass holder rush line will form and be given priority over the general admission rush line. Fifteen minutes before the screening, Festival staff count empty seats in the theatre and allow the corresponding number of pass holders from the rush line to obtain a ticket.
