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 $14 (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 $50 (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.
Included with any OIAF ticket or pass is access to the OIAF Virtual Reality competition. Just show any OIAF ticket or pass when you arrive.
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.

Once you have reset your password and logged in, you will find some of your contact information is there waiting for you.
If you are making a new account, you will be asked to verify your email address (check your spam folder).
Don’t forget your OIAF Visitor Portal (Eventival) login. You’ll need it to access all sorts of OIAF resources and information during the Festival and year-round.
