The festival has released dates and information about ticketing for the 2016 Toronto International Film Festival.
The festival has updated their website and ticketing experience. Existing members will have to setup a new Member account online; they will receive an e-mail on July 12 with instructions on how to setup their new online account. It will be interesting to see if they have made any performance improvements as well to handle to crush during individual ticket purchases.
New this year, the festival says that you will be able to print your tickets at home, use mobile tickets, and transfer e-tickets to friends, although you still have the option to pick up tickets in person from a box office if you prefer. I wonder how much this may cut down on the box office lines before and during the festival.
Dates for the festival can be found at the official TIFF site or at my page here: http://tifftalk.blogspot.ca/p/important-dates.html.
Existing Members will be able to purchase ticket packages at 2015 prices between July 18 and July 22. After that, everyone will have to pay 2016 prices which are below. In general, each package increased in total price by about $10 over last year (except for the Closing Night Gala which is still $205).
