Sundance: How To Fest On A Budget

Sundance: How To Fest On A Budget

There is hardly an element of thrift associated with today’s moviegoing – I mean, really, who isn’t clandestinely stashing Sno-Caps and licorice to save a bill or two at the theater? But as with most things, a little extra work can often yield important savings. At the Sundance Film Festival, there are plenty of ways to preserve frugality while still getting to see everything on your festival checklist.

If you’re a Utah Local, the Townie Tuesday and Best of Fest screenings are free programs and an unprecedented benefit – not to mention a hearty thank you to the state of Utah for offering its home every year. For out-of-staters, the eWaitlist is your best friend and will ensure that hundreds of audience members without passes or credentials can get into screenings that were previously sold out.

Not able to secure a Festival Pass or Ticket Package but still want to get in on the fun? We’ve got you covered – there’s lots to do that doesn’t require a ticket.

What’s the Waitlist?

They like to ensure that every seat in every theatre is taken, so prior to the start of each film they sell the open seats to people who have signed up on the eWaitlist. It’s a very successful way to see some of the films that sell out early, and they’ve just made it easier by allowing you to sign up anywhere with an internet connection.

How does it work?

After last year’s success we’re bringing back the new, exciting, mobile-enabled check-in system that allows festivalgoers to reserve a line position over the internet, and provides self-serve kiosks for those without an internet capable device.

No more waiting in long, cold lines for two hours prior to screening time for a waitlist number! Festivalgoers will now have the ability to receive a waitlist number for a screening via any internet capable device. The system also allows festivalgoers to view/manage their check-in and see the likelihood of admittance to the event. It’s an environmentally friendly, paperless solution.
