  • International Attendees: Due to rights restrictions, ticketing products may not be gifted, transferred, or redeemed outside of the United States. If you reside outside of the United States and are having issues completing your purchase for in-person passes, packages, or tickets, please contact sundancesupport@sundance.org.
  • Attending as a Group: If you’re planning to experience the Festival with a group (such as your partner or family), we recommend that each member of your party has their tickets in their account. If you choose to have one member of your party hold the tickets for everyone, please be aware that voting for films will not be possible for individuals without a ticket in their account. Additionally, groups cannot be seated without all members of the party present if one member of the party is holding all tickets.
  • How To Favorite a Film: Build your 2025 Festival schedule by favoriting films and screening times in the Festival Program Guide. 
    1. Tap the ☆ icon next to a specific film or film screening time on a film’s detail page to add to your My Favorites page. Favoriting films helps you organize the films you want to see. 
    2. Go to My Schedule and click on the My Favorites tab to see a list of your Favorited films. 
  • Ticketing FAQ: Certain ticketing products are subject to specific purchase limits, proof of age, location requirements, or may be non-transferable. For all gifts/transfers, please ensure that you have the recipient’s correct email address. Below are some frequently asked ticketing questions.
    • Q: How Can I Tell if a Film Is Sold Out? 
    • A: Screening times on a sold-out film’s detail page will have the words “sold out” next to them. Additionally, if you have Favorited a film that is now sold out, your “My Schedule” dashboard will have a grayed-out button “SOLD OUT” in place of where you would normally be able to click “ORDER TICKETS.” If you are attempting to purchase a Single Film Ticket to a sold-out screening, the pop-up that appears listing screenings will say “sold out” and you will not be able to add the sold-out screening to your cart.
    • Q: Can’t I Add More Packages to My Cart?
    • A: Most package types are limited to one or two per account, so if you are unable to add more packages to your cart, it likely means that you have reached the purchase limit for that particular package. Please contact sundancecircle@sundance.org to inquire further.
    • Q: What Form of Payment Is Accepted?
    • A: The Festival will be cashless (no physical money), and tickets, merchandise, and any other Festival product purchases will be transacted digitally.
