TIFF 2015 Off-sale (Sold Out) Screenings

This post is a placeholder for people to add comments for any films that they notice as sold out (i.e. off sale) when completing the online ticketing process for My Choice packages for TIFF 2015. Feel free to post a comment for anything you see as sold out when you log in to make your picks to help others out.

Note that films may come off sale if people release them before checking out because they changed their mind or failed to complete the check out process. Also, even though a screening sold out during the My Choice selection process, it may become available again when individual tickets go on sale.

    I found out that these are both off sale as of Saturday, the 29th.

    9/12 Legend RTH
    9/14 Dressmaker RTH

    Reports on twitter are also saying the following are off-sale:
    9/11 - The Martian (premium)
    9/14 - Black Mass (premium)

    Blogger Maria TT E said...
    9/11 - Eye In The Sky
    9/11 - Our Brand is Crisis

    Both are off sale as well.

    As for The Martian, the Gala on 9/11 AND the regular screening the next day, Saturday, are both off sale.

  2. More twitter reports: Premium Demolition 9/10 8pm is offsale (6:30 was still on sale).

    So far the only regular screening reported offsale has been the 9/12 The Martian.

    ReplyDelete
  3. Most of the above films are still showing as ON-SALE, however don't allow you to select any tickets when you try to actually select them. The only two that were explicitly listed as OFF-SALE as of early afternoon 8/30 are:

    Demolition RTH 9/10 8pm (only the 6:30pm was showing at all in the selection website)
    Miss You Already 9/12

    In addition, the following were not explicitly stating they were OFF SALE, but had no ticket availability when selected:
    9/12 - The Martian (regular)
    9/13 - Beeba Boys (premium)

    ReplyDelete
  4. Demolition at 6:30 pm is showing but is marked off sale when you click on it.

    ReplyDelete
  5. I can also confirm that Black Mass on 9/14 (Premium) is marked off sale when you click on it.

  6. Thanks for the updates all. Keep em coming. My window is Thursday Sept 3rd. Who knows what will still be available. Lol

  7. Neither Martian off sale

  8. Didn't see any of the buttons on the main selection screens marked as off-sale as of 12:16 PM on Aug 31.

  9. The Dressmaker on Monday, Sept. 14th is OFF sale as of noon, Aug. 31st.

    ReplyDelete
  10. for me they did not show up as off sale on the page where you select the film/time. It says tickets not available when you click the film to select the number of tickets. So I am wondering if some are being reported as available when they really aren't.

    ReplyDelete
  11. Managed to score a pair for the 9/12 screening of The Martian at Roy Thomson, so definitely still available as of 1PM. Was surprised to see the tickets designated as "Section Mezz L6," though. Haven't done Roy Thomson before, so is it normally assigned setting sections for screening there?

    ReplyDelete
  12. Lady in the Van 2:00 Saturday at the Lightbox no tickets left for me.

    ReplyDelete
  13. Why doesn't TIFF maintain a listing of OFF-Sale films and allow people, in advance of their selection date, to access the list so as to assist them in their selection process? . Last year I was selecting 15 films in a MY Choice Package and had worked out 15 first choices and 15 backups, only to discover, when I was selecting on the phone, that 20 of the 30 films were OFF SALE and the TIFF rep and I spent the best part of the next hour trying to find 5 more films to fit in to the ten that were available. We only managed to find 3. How much easier for all concerned if TIFF were to make the OFF-SALE list available on their website on a daily basis (even once a day at the end of the day would be OK and even though the list may not be cast in stone). No one at TIFF seems to know why a list of OFF-Sale films is not made available, even though they all seem to agree it would be a great idea.

    Does anyone know the answer?

    ReplyDelete
  14. Ditto zero hectic - I have friends who got tickets for the same Martian screening today. Maybe there's a specific number of tickets allotted for each ticket batch?

    ReplyDelete
  15. @mikey - Because that would make too much sense. There isn't much about TIFF that makes sense.

    Has anyone been able to select tickets for "A Flickering Truth" Sept 18 6:30pm? It never said "off sale", but just did not give me the drop-down menu for quantity of tickets.

    ReplyDelete
  17. Like Alex said above, The Lady in the Van on 9/12 at Tiff Lightbox is off sale. It's listed but when you click on it, says no tickets available.

    ReplyDelete
  18. The Martian for 9/12 definitely WAS available at 3:30 today.

    As of 5:00 (CDT), tickets to The Martian first showing and Black Mass first showing were not available.

  22. Wasn't showing as offsale in the list, but wasn't able to select tickets for the Kill Your Friends on the 12th.

    ReplyDelete
  23. There was only 1 listing for Demolition... the one at Roy Thompson Hall.
    There was only 1 listing for Room, which was on the 16th.

    I just did my Choice 10 pack and got all 10 of my first choices. Nothing was offsale that I wanted.

    Once again. Here is the TIFFR account for reported (and rumoured) off-sale reports.

    Will update as much as possible.

  25. Room is premium on the 15th, so that's probably why it wasn't available to a Choice 10.

  27. It looks like I got in just under the wire for Kill Your Friends on the 12th.
    Luckily none of our first choices were offsale.

  34. The Lobster on 9/12 at Bloor Hot Docs is off-sale.

    ReplyDelete
  35. Just wanted to say I had a disastrous experience trying to fulfill my package - loading time was slow, it would only allow me to pick by title, not schedule, and I found that affected some films that it told me were off-sale at first (Maggie's Plan 9/13 and My Big Night on 9/13). But since I clicked on a few that were noted as being off-sale on here and received a different phrase, my advice is if you suffer the same pains as noted above, you may want to come back right before checking out and seeing if they're still off-sale. Ultimately, I wound up getting everything I wanted.

    ReplyDelete
  36. For everyone that has been on for selection, any idea if the Arabian Nights trilogy can be purchased as one ticket on Saturday September 19th? Thanks!

    ReplyDelete
  37. Was told that the second screening of The Danish Girl is off-sale.

    ReplyDelete
  38. The Arabian Nights films on the 19th are three separate films, requiring three tickets. The trilogy showing on the 17th only requires one ticket.

    ReplyDelete
  39. I just finished ticketing ( my selection 10, regular screening ), Whatever peole said off sale on this website are all available, I guess they have certain amount available ticket each day.

    ** I don't know about premium, only regular one

  41. Hi,

    So this TIFF link is not 100% dependable? We should still check manually if they are available even they are listed here?

    http://2015.tiffr.com/schedules/off-sale

    ReplyDelete
  42. That's not a TIFF link, it's an independent website that I think gets much of its input from this page, and then organizes it in a clean format.

    Sometimes things do change; always good to look if something you really want is listed here or there. These pages do give a good heads-up so you can be ready for alternate planning.

    ReplyDelete
  43. just completed my selection and noticed the following were offsale:

  52. @droos I think they may hold some back, I know people who got The Martian earlier today.

    ReplyDelete
  53. I would recommend everyone to keep trying during your selection window if any of your choices are listed as off sale. I picked up three tickets to the second screening of The Danish Girl (noon on 9-13) after it had been listed as off sale.

    ReplyDelete
  54. As of 2:30 on Wednesday, I got The Martian on 9/12 and Demolition, but High-Rise (9/13) and Our Little Siter (9/12) were off sale.

    When I initially tried to schedule Demotion by searching by *date* it was listed as off-sale. When I tried again using the search by title function ten minutes later it gave me a ticket.

    My understanding is that sometimes people are picking and a film goes "off sale" but then if they don't complete their process (or change their mind) the tickets that were in their cart go back, which could explain the Demotion thing. Or maybe it's just buggy.

    Also The Lobster on 9/11 was still on-sale for me.

    ReplyDelete
  55. FYI, I had the martian for the Saturday no problem at 10:30AM todya.

    ReplyDelete
  56. I took Mark Newman's suggestion and was able to get two tix to opening night for Where to Invade Next. When I started my window it was off sale. Clicked on High Rise on and off for the entire hour hoping 9/13 showing would open up. No luck but the second showing on 9/14 is still available. Not sure why everyone went for the second showing of the lobster but the first one is still available for 9/11 and it's showing at a better theater (Wales).

    ReplyDelete
  57. Forgot to mention that I also got two tix for son of saul 9/11 after it initially looked to be off sale.

    ReplyDelete
  58. Off sale for me this afternoon:

    The Kind Words 9/11 12:30 pm
    High Rise first screening with extended Q&A

    A few of the films off sale at TIFF I'm seeing at the NYFF.

  59. Anonymous5:05 PM

    For those who have had tickets shown as off-sale at the start of their session, but then somehow reappear as on-sale before they checked out, is there anything you had to do to get them to show up as on-sale? Or is it just a matter of waiting around during your hour-long timeframe and selecting them again?

    ReplyDelete
  60. @Jordan just keep clicking on them, I got lucky but didn't do anything special

    ReplyDelete
  61. Based on my personal 20+ years of TIFF experience, I am going to go with Kenneth R. Morefield's suggestion that the system is just plain buggy.

    While it is true that some tickets may become available when someone doesn't complete the process or removes tickets from their basket, it doesn't explain how films previously found to be offsale become available hours later. If SEAYL got tickets following my advice, that means his selection window was likely later than mine, yet he snared Son of Saul tickets after it was definitely offsale during the full hour of my selection window earlier in the same day.

    I tried multiple ways of selecting films (by title, by schedule) and that didn't seem to make a difference. As stated previously, the best advice is to keep trying until most of your hour is up.

    ReplyDelete
  62. Yeah i just tried, and i could get 2 tickets to Danish Girl.
    I think they release more every hour, especially for the larger theaters

    ReplyDelete
  63. Yes, I totally got tickets to The Danish Girl, but was unlucky with Truth and my alternate for that time-slot High Rise or my back up alternate The Assassin. Haha

    ReplyDelete
  64. I am picking some premium screenings tomorrow and I'm feeling not too hopeful about getting what I plan for. Would I be better off talking to someone on the phone?

    I am hoping to get The Danish Girl premium tomorrow.

    ReplyDelete
  65. That High Rise first screening seems really hard to get.

    ReplyDelete
  66. Dheepan Sept 11 at Elgin 10 PM was not available as of 9:15 am today.

    ReplyDelete
  67. The premium screening of Trumbo on the 12th at 9PM was offsale for me this morning as of 11AM. So disappointed!

    ReplyDelete
  68. Where To Invade Next, Sept 10th at 9:30 is off-sale as I write this.

    ReplyDelete
  69. Re: "That High Rise first screening seems really hard to get."

    The first screenings of the Platform films at the Visa are combined public and press/industry, so a big chunk of the tickets will be hard to get in advance for those films, but rushing them might be relatively easy depending on how may P&I folks pull tickets.

    So far no casualties for any of my picks. Just alternates. Hopefully I won't be scrambling to adjustment my schedule at 11:30am tomorrow morning.

  74. Does anyone have any advice for Midnight Madness?

    I am making my picks tomorrow and feel like I can save Midnight Madness picks for the general sale on Sunday. I did this last year and was fine, any opinions? Looking to see Green Room.

    ReplyDelete
  75. For Midnight Madness I've never had problems getting tickets for them on the 2nd screenings on the regular ticket sale day. Same for "most" of the actual midnight times. I recall Tusk being sold out last year even during the advanced ticket select window for the first screening. My advice is if you really want to see it - I wouldn't save it :) It could be risky.

    ReplyDelete
  76. For Midnight Madness, I usually pick whichever one I want to see most or think will sell fastest, then save the rest for general sale. Never had a problem with the general sale though other than Tusk and Martyrs.

    At 5:30 pm today there were many more off sale. The ones I remember:
    Saturday 12th: 11 am Sicario
    Sunday 13th: 11 am Legend at Elgin
    9:45 Everything will be fine at tiff lightbox
    Monday 14th: 11 am Brooklyn
    9:30 am Remember


    There were a few more but I can't remember them now

    ReplyDelete
  82. I'm surprised no one has commented about TIFF changing the way it indicates off-sale screenings. In past years, when selecting by date, "off-sale" appeared instead of the time for screenings that were unavailable. Now you have to select the film to find out if it's available. This really slows things down for me. It also made it impossible to scroll through the listings and compile a full list of off-sale screenings for those with later selection windows. I didn't have time to check all screenings, but here's a list of the off-sale screenings I found:

    THURS 10th
    Where to Invade Next

    FRI 11th
    Dheepan
    Every Thing Will Be Fine
    Son of Saul
    Un Plus Une
    Where to Invade Next

    SAT 12th
    Dheepan
    Amazing Grace
    Eye in the Sky
    Lady in the Van
    Kill Your Friends
    The Lobster
    Our Little Sister
    Un Plus Une
    Sicario

    SUN 13th
    About Ray
    The Assassin
    Every Thing Will Be Fine
    High-Rise
    Kill Your Friends
    Legend
    Trumbo
    Truth

    MON 14th
    Brooklyn
    Remember

    In happier news, at least two shows previously listed as off sale are available again. If there's something you really want to see, check to see if it's back on sale; you might get lucky.

    ReplyDelete
  83. The premiums of Our Brand is Crisis and Spotlight were offsale by 6pm. I don't know what's different, but I have had years picking at the very end and got better picks than I did a day ahead this time. Everything sold out faster than usual.

    ReplyDelete
  84. Can someone confirm Son of Saul on 9/10 is offsale?

    ReplyDelete
  85. I saw the 13th Legend was back on-sale as i made my picks at 10:30 today.

    ReplyDelete
  86. I was just in getting my tickets and Legend 9/13 was I guess back off sale again and Kill Your Friends 9/13 was also off sale for me. As has already been noted, Brooklyn 9/14 was also still off sale, which I tried anyway just in case.

    ReplyDelete
  89. Made my picks last night. Most of the big movies from the opening weekend were off-sale. I tried about 10-15, all of them off-sale (The Lobster, Legend, Black Mass, Dheepan, Every Thing Will be Fine, High-Rise, Sicario, etc).
    I assume I made a big mistake and should have waited till morning to make my picks, given that it looks like they release new tickets every day.

    ReplyDelete
  90. I tried to get Dheepan on the 11th, Sicario, Kill Your Friends, and Eye in the Sky on the 12th and all were off-sale this morning. High-Rise from the 13th was also off-sale but got the 18th instead.

    ReplyDelete

  100. I've never rushed a screening before. It's cash-only for $20 flat, correct? Any advice on how far in advance to line up?

    ReplyDelete
  101. If it's premium screening $40 but regular is $20. Cash only. It depends the popularity of film. I went a few years ago and for the opening night The Fifth Estate people were out from 10am. Same for 12 Years a Slave, August Osage etc. We got in to all of these plus Dallas Byers with 4 hours+ queuing. We were quite near front at every screening but I've no idea how long the last people to get in queued. There's pros and cons as you could queue for hours and not get in. We kept on being told 1-2 hours max before you need to arrive. We did get into Third Person at Elgin only showing up 15 mins before so it can happen.

    ReplyDelete
  102. Thanks for the advice. Depending on if the single-ticket gods decide to help me out at 7am next Friday (and if single ticket day tomorrow is a bust), I'll probably rush for Son of Saul (Sept 11) at minimum.

    While I'm at it: what's the lineup usually like for the free People's Choice screening on the last day of the fest?

    ReplyDelete
  103. Brian - They've moved the People's Choice screening from Ryerson to Roy Thompson this year, so it's going to be a new experience! RTH seats like 2,000 though, so I'd say the lineup will be hilariously long but your likelihood of getting in will be very high :)

    ReplyDelete
  104. Thanks, E. Hadn't even noticed the venue change! I'll (hopefully) walk out the 3pm Vertigo and then get back in line :)

    ReplyDelete
  105. I'm only able to attend the last half of the festival (9/16-9/20). What are my odds of getting a Q&A with the casts or directors?

    ReplyDelete
  106. Plan of attack for tomorrow: better to add all movies one can at once then check out? Or better to check out right away w/the one you really want? If they're in your cart the tix is spoken for, yes? Or can you lose it if you don't check out right away?

    ReplyDelete
  107. I went in 2013 and my biggest annoyance when getting single day tix was being allowed to put tix in my cart to then check out and find they'd sold out and have to start complete order process again. It wouldnt even check out the tix that were available and due to this i lost further tix that then went off sale. I was told it was glitches in system. I could understand if i hadnt done it within an alloted timescale I was furious. I'm dreading same thing happening tomorrow.

    ReplyDelete
  108. My arguement was and still is - if it shows for sale and you can cart it then the ticket should be yours unless you dont check out within alloted time.

    ReplyDelete
  109. @Matt H It's not very often in the last half. Some directors will stay for the second or third showing, but most of the final showings do not have any cast or directors attending.

    ReplyDelete
  110. @Moira Couldn't agree more. That's the way ticketing systems (ie Ticketmaster) usually work. Would be great for TIFF to get on board with that sort of system.

    As frustrating as it can be, I sort of see things from their POV though... they really only need this sort of system one day a year, so I can't imagine them wanting to throw too much money into fixing it up.

    ReplyDelete
  111. @Matt H Usually my experience is that if it's the first screening of a film, it's likely there will be a guest. If it's not, the likelihood goes way down. So whether or not it's late in the week is irrelevant, but it's more so to do with how many screenings each film has.

    ReplyDelete
  112. Hi Guys, in buying individual tickets, will I be able to see right away that the ticket for a schedule is off-sale? Or I'll just know it when I check out? Also, will I be able to buy more than 1 individual tickets in buying individual tickets?

    ReplyDelete
  113. According to the @tiff_net Twitter account, there will be a list of off-sale screenings available in the virtual waiting room (where you idle until you're admitted to the actual purchasing system). And yes, you can buy more than one ticket (I think the limit is 4 *per screening*, but don't quote me on that).

    ReplyDelete
  114. yes 4 tix for any screening. I'll just be happy to get any tix I want. Not sure how user friendly system will be to navigate from film to film but that's the "fun" of TIFF. It took me nearly 4 hours in 2013 to get through online. There was 2 of us and I got through first. It was manic.

  115. A listing of off-sale screenings will be available while in the virtual waiting room. It will update every two minutes, per @tiff_net.

    ReplyDelete
  116. I just clicked on the buy tickets link, and saw the following:

    "Ticket buyers will be sent to our virtual waiting room first. Get your wish list and alternate selections ready. Once you enter the store, you have 30 minutes to make your selections.

    Only Festival tickets will be available for online purchase today. If you would like to purchase tickets for a screening at TIFF Bell Lightbox, please call or visit our Box Office."

    Best of luck to everyone trying to grab single tickets this morning.

  117. Huh. Had read on http://theroaminglife.com/tiff-tips-2015/ that although tix don't go on sale until 9am. The waiting room would open at 7am. Guess that's not the case.

    Does anyone remember how this worked last year (I didn't attend in 2014)?

    ReplyDelete
  118. Short cuts 7 was off sale as of Sept 3/ at 11 am

    ReplyDelete
  119. I did not encounter that 'Virtual Waiting Room' note... Where did you actually click Buy Tickets? Did you select a particular film then select buy tickets? In my case I logged in the member account and I did not encounter that note. It just told me that the individual tickets will be available at 9 AM.

    ReplyDelete
  120. Go to tiff.net and you should see a note about the waiting room, and an option to proceed to tiff.net if you just want to look around and not buy single tix.

    ReplyDelete
  121. Unless a different link that I'm not aware I've been on page and I'm not in any virtual waiting room. What link did you go via to get that message "buy tickets" I get it when I just go to www.tiff.net. If I click on "want to browse" and go to the films page and click buy tickets it just goes to a page saying tix on sale 9am.

    ReplyDelete
  122. Just a heads up because I only noticed today -- High-Rise screening on Sept 18 at 12pm was cancelled, and the Where To Invade Next screening from Sept 20 at 6pm got moved into its place.

  125. @Moira This should answer your earlier question about tickets being held while in your cart. From @tiff_net: Depending on the volume of demand, we won't necessarily be able to guarantee that tickets will be reserved while in the cart.

  126. @David Baldwin Thanks for the update. Where did you see the schedule change? I can't even get past the tiff.net front page to view the schedule at the moment.

  129. Waiting in the queue...

    In your experience, how often do movies that are OFF SALE on the first day of single ticket sales go ON SALE on subsequent days?

    Is it worth checking every day at 7 am?

    Thanks!

    ReplyDelete
  130. Definitely check at 7am. I've had success with that in the past.

    ReplyDelete
  131. I don't like the fact that screenings that were off-sale during ticket packet selection are now back on sale during single ticket purchasing. I already changed my schedule!

  132. We were able to get 2 tickets to Jason Reitman's live read, and a single to Anomalisa on the 15th.

    Unfortunately, we now have 2 tickets to The Lobster on Sept. 12th to try and sell.

  133. Hi Brian,

    What's the show time for the Lobster tix you have?

    ReplyDelete
  134. Hey Brian - I'll gladly buy your Lobster tickets on 9/12 - that's what I woke up early for! And now it's off sale...

    ReplyDelete
  135. Got in at 9:05 got tickets to a few screenings that were previously off-sale. At the time Son of Saul on 9/10 was off-sale. Got in again at 9:35 and was able to get a Son of Saul 9/10 ticket.

    My recommendation for those trying to get tickets to a particular screening. Keep trying throughout the day.

    ReplyDelete
  136. Listen to Patrick, folks. Off-sale doesn't mean 'permanently sold out'! I got Black Swan tix on single-ticket day... at 1pm, after being told they were off-sale around 9am.

    Last year, I tried for Tusk at 7am day-of, and it was off-sale. Went back in around 8:15am and got 'em.

    Never give up!

    ReplyDelete
  137. I got London Road Thu, Demolition Fri, I Saw The Light Sat, Danish Girl Sunday, Freeheld Sunday, Brooklyn Monday, Family Fang Monday, Spotlight, Black Mass, Septembers of Shiraz all on Tue. Martian Fri/Sat was off sale and so was Legend Sat/Sun.

    ReplyDelete
  138. Very pleased with the outcome today. Got all my first picks, minus The Martian.

    Green Room, Where to Invade Next, Son of Saul, I Smile Back, The Witch and the Jason Reitman Live Read (famous people, yay!). Definitely more I'd like to see, but gotta save some money for Just for Laughs :)

  141. You guys got lucky. I thought i was ok, but High Rise, Live Table Read, Dheepan, Where To Invade Next...a few others that weren't showing on the 9:50am off-sale list but were all gone when I logged in about 9:52. :(

  162. @Matthew - For free screenings such as HEAT, TIFF usually hands out tickets 2 hours prior to the screening on a first come first serve basis. They also set up a rush line as not everyone who grabs a free ticket shows up to the actual screening.

  179. *** QUESTION GUYS ***

    Hi Guys, I wonder if there is anyone who got Son of Saul tickets for 09/11 yesterday when the Individual ticket selling opened? It's because the display of off sale in the virtual room is not accurate, when I entered and tried Son of Saul, it says off-sale... So I wonder, if it is really off-sale from the start of the individual ticket selling and the display is not just updated OR some people in front queue managed to buy tickets...

    ReplyDelete
  180. I got one for Son of Saul on the 11th, the waiting room off sale list was just a bit slow to update and not completely accurate I think.

  181. Hi, I'm new at this so I'm not sure if this is allowed here but if there is even an infinitesimal chance anyone is willing to sell or know someone willing to sell, I am looking for:

    - Son of Saul, 2 tickets, 09/11 @ 430pm
    - The Martian, 4 tickets, 09/11 @ 930pm
    - The Danish Girl, 2 tickets, 09/12 @ 615pm
    - Beasts of No Nation, 1 ticket, 09/13 @ 830pm

  183. This is probably a long shot but if anyone has tickets to The Martian (need 3-4 tickets), I'm willing to buy. Ideally looking for Friday 9:30 tickets but willing to take Saturday tickets.

    Also, does anyone know if there's a chance that tickets will go on-sale again? Should I check at 7 am? Would it be worth waiting in the rush line for the Friday screening?

    ReplyDelete
  184. Figured I would give this a go. I'm looking for one ticket to see The Lobster on either day that it is playing. I have a friend that works for the festival and I'll be getting free tickets during the first half that I can trade, but I don't have much to offer in trades at the moment.
    I'd be willing to buy the ticket from you as well.
    If you happen to have the Friday showing, I could trade for a showing of Mustang at 2:45pm since both showings would cancel eachother out. If you have the Saturday showing, I could trade Girls Lost for the same reason. Just let me know what you're thinking! I'm traveling up from the U.S. and can only stay the first half of the week, so The Lobster was a must for me. I'd really appreciate it. Thanks for your time!

    ReplyDelete
  185. For all those looking for tix. I was there in 2013 and had to do rush for most of my choices as so much sold out by the time I got in on single day. If you know you can allow at least 3-4 hours to queue for bigger films then there's a really good chance you'll get in via rush. We saw 12 Years A Slave, Prisoners, August Osage, Dallas Byers Club, Third Person and Fifth Estate all via Rush.
