Roy Thomson Hall Closing Night Film and Party - Gala
Some of the VISA Screening Room films and some of the galas still have individual tickets left.
If you weren't able to get the films you wanted, you have a few options:
- Check back on the website or at the box office periodically. The festival will occasionally release extra blocks of tickets, especially on the day of the showing.
- If you have a 10-film book, a Festival Pass, or a Daytime Pass, you will still be able to select VISA Screening Room films and the second showing of gala films, even if the individual tickets are sold out on the website. Each gala has two showings; the first is in the evening at Roy Thomson Hall. The second showing is in one of the other theatres on a subsequent day. You can't use your 10-film book or pass to get a ticket for the Roy Thomson Hall showing, but you can use them for the second showing.
- Stand in the rush line at the theatre. If there are any ticket holders that don't show up or if they have extra seats that are not being used by festival guests, some of the people in the rush line may be allowed to purchase a ticket for the showing.

If they are selling the VISA Screening Room tickets now then how much will be left for the 10 ticket holder draw?
Do they allocate some seat specifically for that draw or do they just put into the draw whatever didn't sellout today?
"Check back on the website or at the box office periodically. The festival will occasionally release extra blocks of tickets."
I'd also like to add, once at the festival, don't wait on those long lines to check availability. Call the box office to check, then pick up the tickets. Tickets that weren't available in the morning may be available in the afternoon, it changes constantly. (At least it did two years ago when I was there.)
I bought a bunch of tickets this morning, and I can't wait! We are coming from NY, and our experience at the festival two years ago was fantastic. Probably the most fun you can cram into a short period of time.
I don't know for sure, but we've always speculated that the festival reserves out specific numbers of seats for advanced ticketing and for individual ticket sales.
Since this is the first year they're selling the VISA Screening Room tickets in advance of the 10 ticket holder/festival pass draws, I wouldn't hold out much hope that they're reserving any seats for those participating in the draw. Unless someone from the festival states otherwise, it's highly unlikely anyone would be able to get into one of the sold out shows through the upcoming draw.
I wrote the festival to inquire on this issue; check out their response at the following post:
