Passes and coupon books are still available if you want to participate in advanced ticket selection, rather than buying tickets once the festival starts. As of this posting, you can still purchase:

  • Family Gala pass ($50): You get two adult and two child tickets to one family gala film at Roy Thomson Hall.
  • Family pass ($75): You get two adult and two child tickets to two out of the six family screenings.
  • Daytime pass ($192, $157.50 for students and seniors): You get 25 tickets to redeem during the advanced ticket selection process or during the festival itself for any film that starts before 5:01 PM.
  • Festival pass ($498, $431 for students and seniors): You get 50 tickets to redeem during the advanced ticket selection process or during the festival itself for any film.
  • 10-ticket coupon book ($154.50): You get 10 tickets to redeem during the advanced ticket selection process or during the festival itself for any film.
  • Festival Experience pass ($67): You get a ticket to three films selected by festival programmers, with each film on a weekend or after 6:00 PM on weekdays.
  • Daytime Festival Experience pass ($62): Same as the Festival Experience pass, except each film is on a weekend or before 6:00 PM on weekdays.
  • Globetrotter pass ($110): You get a ticket to six films from around the world selected by festival programmers, with each film on a weekend or after 6:00 PM on weekdays.

  • Ticket for the Roy Thomson Hall closing night gala/party ($296): You get a ticket to the final premiere at Roy Thomson Hall and a ticket to the "everything included" Closing Night party.
  • Out of town package ($100): If you live outside of Toronto, the festival has a service to allow you to mail in your advanced ticket selections (if you have also bought passes or coupons). I've never used this myself, but it seems that you pay $100 on top of any passes or coupons that must be bought separately.

To order passes or coupons, do one of the following:

  1. Order online at http://www.e.bell.ca/filmfest/2006/orderonline.asp
  2. Order by phone at (416) 968-FILM.
  3. Visit the year-round box office at: Manulife Centre, 55 Bloor Street West (main floor, north entrance), Monday to Saturday, 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM.

You can only order passes and coupons until August 25, 2006. After that, you have to wait for single tickets to go on sale.
