  1. What do you mean by:
    Select screenings online at tiff.net (or by phone or at the TIFF Bell Lightbox) for TIFF Contributor Members, according randomized start time.

    Individual tickets or for packages?

  2. For packages. If you're a Contributor member, or not a TIFF member at all, and you buy a My Choice package, you'll receive a specific start time assigned by TIFF via e-mail.

  3. I am a contributor member. I was just wondering if I can select the first screening of gala presentation movie using the "my choice regular package". If so, would I be able to select the screening before it becomes available to the general public?

    Thanks in advance.
