How do I purchase and use a pass?

A festival pass is the best option to explore the breadth of the festival and immerse in all the incredible programs that SeriesFest has to offer. Passes are offered at multiple levels with varying amenities.

Please visit our pass page to determine the right experience for you. Passes are generally available in February for our May festival.

How do I pick up my pass?

Badge pick up is in the Sie FilmCenter Complex: 2510 East Colfax, Denver, CO, 80206.

Click here for more information, including pick-up hours.

To avoid lines, early arrival is recommended.

If you are unable to pick up your credentials during designated badge pickup times, your badge may be picked up beginning 30 minutes prior to the first screening, daily at the Sie FilmCenter Guest Services Desk.

 

How do I purchase and use tickets?

Individual tickets will go on sale in Early April. Tickets are $15 each  (discounts available for seniors, students, and Denver Film members). When you purchase a ticket, your confirmation email will include information about program specifics and a code for you to present in order to enter the theater. This code may also be printed out.

Certain programs will have limited quantities of individual tickets available. Early purchase is recommended.

Before purchasing tickets, please be sure there are no venue or timing conflicts

During the Festival, ticketing will be available onsite at the Sie FilmCenter one hour in advance of the first program daily.

Can I get into a sold out show?

If a screening’s allotment of advance tickets has sold out, there are likely to be stand-by tickets available. Lines begin at the venue’s box office one hour prior to the screening time; those in the stand-by line will be let in just prior to the screening on a space-available basis.

Is there parking available at the Sie FilmCenter?

The Sie FilmCenter garage is free to festival attendees.

The parking garage is accessible from both Columbine and Elizabeth Streets between Colfax and 14th.

How do I vote for the Audience Awards?

Once you have watched an eligible program, you will be sent an online ballot from your Eventive account. You may vote immediately or opt to do so at another point during the festival. You may vote once (1x) on all the programs you have viewed. All voting must be complete by 12pm on the 2nd-to-last day of the festival.

We encourage you to vote for all your eligible programs as a means of acknowledging the efforts of our creators and supporting their work.
