A couple of notes about Frameline48 ticketing

Just a couple of quick notes about ticketing for the Frameline48 San Francisco International LGBTQ+ Film Festival:
  • The festival is still nearly two weeks away, but several shows are already SOLD OUT, and others are marked as “selling fast.” Don’t let a film you really want to see slip by because you didn’t get around to getting your tickets!
  • In particular, without the Castro Theatre as the cornerstone venue for this year’s festival, many films that would have been at the Castro, are now in smaller venues.
  • If you have a Gold or Platinum pass, note that this year you must reserve your seat for films at all the venues except the Palace of Fine Arts and the Herbst Theatre. If it’s at the Roxie, Vogue, New Parkway, KQED, or The Stud, reserve your seat! 
  • Frameline just added a screening at The Strand at the American Conservatory Theatre, and Gold/Platinum reservations are required, but it’s at 1:00 on a Friday afternoon, so it probably won’t be an issue. In addition, both of the films in that program (“Alok & There Are Things to Do”) are also screening in the “Rise Up: Doc Shorts” program, at the Roxie and also streaming.
  • If you really want to see a film, but it’s sold out (or all the Gold/Platinum reservation slots are taken), keep checking back on the Frameline website, as more blocks of tickets may be released as late as midday the day of the screening. If all else fails, show up early to the venue and look for the “Rush Line.” There are always a few seats that are released just before curtain time. If you have a Gold or Platinum pass and get in from the Rush line, your pass will still get you in without buying an additional ticket.
