TIFF red carpet

Let the countdown begin! The Toronto International Film Festival is less than 12 weeks away, and there are some key dates coming up that you need to know for purchasing packages and tickets.

This year’s festival runs from September 5 to 15, and similar to last year, TIFF will be offering pre-assigned seating at four venues again in 2019: Roy Thomson Hall, the Visa Screening Room at the Princess of Wales Theatre, the Elgin Theatre, and the Winter Garden Theatre.

Tickets will start this year at $19 for regular screenings and $26 for Premium screenings, with an affordable option for anyone under 25 starting at just $11.

Festival ticket packages already went on sale in May for TIFF members, and for Visa cardholders they are on sale now. General sale of packages for the public goes on sale June 19.

Purchase your TIFF ticket packages at tiff.net/tickets19, or by phone from 10am to 7pm ET daily at 416.599.TIFF or 1.888.599.8433. You can also visit in person from 10am to 10am ET daily at the Steve & Rashmi Gupta Box Office at TIFF Bell Lightbox. Ticket packages are available until August 11, while quantities last.
