Festival FAQs
TICKET PURCHASING
* AFR strongly advises that you purchase tickets via our website.
* Provided a festival event (film screening or after party) does NOT sell out before it occurs, tickets will be available for CASH ONLY purchase at the AFR check-in table at the event location. As AFR (NOT the respective venue box-office) will be selling the tickets, we ask that you try to have exact change.
CHECK-IN & SEATING
* If you have purchased a VIP Pass, please bring your paper e-ticket/receipt to the AFR check-in table at Georgetown 14 AMC beginning at 6:00 pm on Wednesday, October 1. You will be given a VIP Badge that will enable you to enter any AFR event.
* Unless you are a VIP (or Early Bird) Pass-holder, AFR advises that you arrive early to each event as seating is on a first-come, first-serve basis. If you arrive after an event starts, AFR CANNOT guarantee your entry into the event.
*VIP Pass-holders enjoy priority seating at every AFR event.
* Seating for each event will begin approximately 30 minutes prior to the start of the event.
