You can choose from three main ways to experience the Festival:

Curated Ticket Packages. On sale in June, these packages provide guaranteed access to multiple screenings or events with a common genre or theme, with screening dates, times, and seating locations selected by TIFF. This is a great option for film lovers who want seats locked in for their favourite programme. These packages are only available to TIFF Members and Visa cardholders. For more information on Curated Ticket Packages, see here. Note: Curated Ticket Packages are no longer available for purchase.

Individual Tickets. Select single screenings to build your own custom schedule. Iideal if you have a specific list of must-see films. Tickets go on sale in August, with early access for Members.

• Contributor & Patron Circle Members: Buy via TIFF Festival Account Manager
• All Other Members & Public: Buy via Ticketmaster.ca/tiff

Please review our Key Dates to find out when you’re eligible to buy tickets for TIFF 2026.

Ticket prices vary for Festival screenings. Pricing for TIFF 2026 has not yet been released. Check out this page in August for more information.

• Premium Screenings: Feature elevated event experiences, such as Red Carpet Galas, World or North American Premieres, and cast/filmmaker audience Q&As.
• Regular Screenings: Refer to all non-Premium screenings and make up the vast majority of the Festival program, including second and third screenings of high-profile films.

TIFF Members will have access to ticket pre-sales between August 21 and August 27, based on Membership level. Please refer to our Key Dates to find out when you’re eligible to buy. The deadline to become an Individual Member to access an individual-ticket pre-sale is Tuesday, August 18.

TIFF Insiders can purchase individual tickets before the public, but after TIFF Members. Become an Insider by signing up for The Weekly e-newsletter by Thursday, August 21. You’ll receive an access code on Friday, August 28.

To keep ticket access fair for everyone, there is a strict limit of four tickets per screening, per account. This cap applies to both Members and non-Members.

All Festival venues offer accessible and companion seating in each cinema. Seating is limited and is available on a first-come, first-served basis. Though we do our best to accommodate every request, seating cannot be guaranteed.

Tickets for accessible seating locations and companion seating can be booked over the phone with TIFF Customer Relations. TIFF Customer Relations can be reached at 416-599-2033 or 1-888-258-8433. See our hours of operation.

All sales are final. TIFF has a no-refund policy on Festival tickets and packages.

TIFF prefers Visa, but we accept all major credit cards across our venues and online.

Please note that on Insider Pre-Sale, presented by Visa, Visa is the only accepted payment method.

For in-person purchases, debit and cash are accepted exclusively at TIFF Lightbox. During the Festival, all other box office venues operate on a strictly cashless basis.
