TIFF's Festival Street

The 2018 Toronto International Film Festival arrives in just a few weeks, and it’s time to start planning your tickets.

TIFF ticket packages are already on sale, including for the public, TIFF Members and Visa Cardholders. Next, on August 2, the official film schedule and Programme Book will be released. You can find the full schedule that day at tiff.net/schedule.

A number of changes have been introduced for 2018, including now allowing film lovers to reserve up to four tickets per venue, up from two previously.

Introduced in 2017, reserved seating has also expanded from Roy Thomson Hall and the Princess of Wales Theatre, to the Elgin and Winter Garden Theatres. At these venues, TIFF is also introducing three tiers of ticket prices starting at $18 for regular tickets, and $25 for premium tickets.

For film lovers under the age of 25, TIFF is also bringing back $10 tickets on daytime screenings, between Monday and Friday.

You can purchase tickets and packages at tiff.net/tickets, or over the phone from 10 AM to 8 PM daily at 416.599.TIFF or 1.888.599.8433, and in person 10 AM to 10 PM at the Steve & Rashmi Gupta Box Office at TIFF Bell Lightbox. Ticket packages are available, while quantities last, until August 13.
