If you want to see a
film that is sold out, go to the Virginia Theatre Box Office 30 minutes
before the
screening time and wait in the rush ticket line. Shortly before the
film begins, any empty seats will
be sold on a first-come first-served basis. NOTE: At every festival
since 2002, all patrons waiting in line for tickets for sold out films
were able to get in.

The
Virginia Theater has generously offered to maintain a waiting

additional passes become available, those on the waiting list
will be contacted by phone or email, according to the order in
which they were added to the list (on a first-come, first-served

for those unable to use the passes they'd purchased, and the
re-sale of the pass(es) will be conducted directly between the

cost, i.e. no scalping or discounting. |
