Full Festival & VIP Pass Holders

Thank you for purchasing your VIP, Full Fest or Full Day passes to this years Panic Film Festival! We wanted to reach out to everyone and update you on a few things that have changed with this years festival.You will be given access to all films throughout each day. There are repeat showing of nearly every film during the weekday so you can see the marquee events with special guests and not worry about missing any other films. This is a huge bonus to your value so we hope you can take advantage of it.

For those with Full Day passes, we are allowing you to see any films that screens on your full day and repeats during the week for free. Example, if you have a Full Saturday pass and want to see a films at conflicting times you will be able to come back for repeat screenings during the week at no additional cost! This adds even more value to those full day passes!

Special Events

No pass includes special events or the live podcast. These tickets must be purchased separately. We suggest purchasing in advance if you wish to see both these (very awesome!) live events.

When you arrive each day you can pick which films you want tickets for that day and we can print them all out for you. This will help ensure your seat in that theatre and will help us keep track of any available seats that we can resell to people that will be waiting.

Wait Lines

For films in the smaller theaters, we will have a wait line. Ten minutes prior to that films scheduled start time we will open any available seats to anyone waiting in that line. This means even if you have a festival pass, if you do not have your ticket already, you could potentially be out that screening.

Food

As always, outside food and drink is not allowed in the theater. We will have a rotating menu throughout the weekend to keep things fresh and give you a variety to chose from.

See you at the fest!
