OIAF Tickets

If you’re interested in attending only a few OIAF screenings and talks, then you can order individual tickets or a Ticket Six-Pack. Tickets are $15 (CAD) each and are available now online for pre-order. During the festival, tickets can also be ordered at the box office of each venue (open 30 minutes before each screening/talk). A Ticket Six-Pack is $75 (CAD) and can be used online to pre-order tickets or at the box office of each venue.

Ready to order? Get your Ticket Six-Pack online here, and then browse our website to find ticket links with each program description. Find everything in the Schedule.

Passholders do not need to pre-order tickets. Passes are scanned at the door, like tickets. However, passholders can ensure themselves a seat by pre-ordering tickets with their pass. Passholders must use the Continue with Eventival login option when checking out a ticket order to get their free ticket attached to their pass.

Tickets are not available for TAC events, parties, the Animators’ Picnic, or the Awards Ceremony. Standalone tickets for Pique can be purchased here. Passholders do not require tickets to Pique.
