How do I purchase tickets?
Please see below for step-by-step instructions for purchasing tickets.

Do I need to print my tickets?
All NYICFF venues are able to scan tickets directly from a device, so there is no need to print them. You are welcome to print tickets if you prefer.

I can't find my tickets!
Don't worry, we can get you in! First, check your spam folder. If you still cannot find your tickets, and are positive that your order went through (you received a confirmation email, your credit card was charged, etc), we can look you up by name at the door.

I can no longer attend a screening. Can I get a refund for my tickets?
We understand that, especially with kids, schedules change. If you notify us prior to showtime, we will do whatever we can to exchange your tickets for a different screening. Refunds are only offered if tickets were purchased in error or if the screening is canceled by NYICFF. Click here for full refund details.

I missed a screening. Can I get a refund for my tickets?
Like most movie theaters, we cannot offer a refunds after showtime. Click here for full refund details.

How can I buy tickets to a sold out screening?
We run a waitlist for every sold-out screening that can be joined in-person at the venue up to two hours prior to the screening. Tickets will be sold to those on the waitlist no more than 5 minutes before the start of the screening.

Do I need a ticket for a small child?
A ticket is needed for any child over 2 years old. Children under 2 that will sit on a parent’s lap may enter without a ticket.

Is there reserved seating?
Seats are reserved for NYICFF Members at the Cinemascope level and higher. All other tickets are unreserved and seating is first come, first served.

I can't access tickets early even though I'm a member.
You must log in to your Elevent account in order to access tickets during the Member early access window.

What happens if I am running late?
NYICFF does its best to accommodate late-comers, but may release tickets to customers on the waitlist once a screening has started. Please arrive at least 5 minutes before the scheduled start time.

Can I bring a group?
Yes! NYICFF offers group pricing ($2 off each ticket) for groups of ten or more. For bookings of 20 tickets or more, please contact support@nyicff.org.

I have a discount code and I want my school to get credit for my purchase...?
Discount codes can not be used in conjunction with school fundraising partnerships. If you want your school to get credit (of $2 per ticket), you may not use a discount code.

While we try to be as accommodating as possible, we are unable to offer refunds in most circumstances. We are happy to issue refunds in the following cases:

1. If a ticket is purchased in error and NYICFF is notified within 90 minutes of purchase.
2. If an event is canceled by NYICFF.

In all other cases, refunds are not offered online, over the phone, or in person.
