How to Get Your Tickets
1. Plan your program:
Review the daily grids and event descriptions. Pick your films and events, making sure you don’t choose conflicting events. Then fill out the ticket order form. Vinegar Hill and Regal are both downtown, and Culbreth Theater is on the UVA Grounds — if you choose consecutive screenings across town from each other, you may have to leave one early or arrive at one late, so plan carefully.
2. Order your tickets:
By mail or fax. We are accepting these orders now. For best ticket availability, we strongly recommend mailing or faxing your order before October 8th. Use the order form here.
By phone. Beginning October 4th, our operators will be ready to take your order (VISA & MASTERCARD only). Call toll free: 1-800-UVA-FEST (1-800-882-3378) from 10 am - 6 pm EDT Monday through Friday.
In person. Tickets will be available at the Festival’s Main Box Office in the Culbreth Theatre, open 10 am - 6 pm Monday through Friday, beginning October 4th. There is free five minute parking in the circle immediately adjacent to the Culbreth Theater.
3. Arrange payment:
By phone. You must use VISA or MASTERCARD. Please be ready with your full name, card number, and expiration date.
By mail. Use a credit card, money order, or personal check. If you use a check or money order, make it for the exact amount payable to: UVA — Virginia Film Festival. There will be a $2.00 service charge for all phone, web, and mail orders.
Please note: your order cannot be processed until payment is received.
Tickets will be mailed out beginning October 4th. All ticket orders received by Friday, October 15th will be mailed. If we receive your order after that date, you can pick up your tickets at the at the Festival’s Main Box Office in the Culbreth Theatre. All advance order tickets must be picked up at Culbreth Box Office. There will be no will-call at Vinegar Hill or The Regal Theaters.
4. Ticket Prices:
Regular film tickets will be $6 advance and $7 at the door. For senior citizens 65 and older, children under twelve, and students with I.D. tickets will remain $5. Special event ticket prices will vary as noted on the order form. Please choose carefully. All sales are final. There will be no exchanges.
Student FILM$ Dollars.
All full-time UVA students receive $15 worth of FILM$ Dollars (part of the ART$ Dollars program) which may be used to purchase Virginia Film Festival tickets. Before the Festival, students may use FILM$ Dollars to obtain tickets by mail or phone from the Culbreth Box Office (the service charge does not apply), or in person at the Culbreth Box Office. During the Festival, FILM$ Dollars may be used to obtain tickets at the Culbreth Box Office only. Because the Vinegar Hill and Regal box offices will not be able to process FILM$ Dollars ticket sales, students wishing to use FILM$ Dollars must purchase their tickets for screenings at these theaters no later than the day before the screening.
