11th Brisbane International Film Festival

Here at BIFF we have several options when it comes to purchasing tickets so that as a BIFF patron you receive value for money and can come and see as many of our films as your budget allows!

Single Tickets

Single tickets to any unreserved session are $9.00. Unreserved sessions are marked in the schedule with a U ( a limited number of seats are available for pre-bookings and the remainder are available on the day, subject to availability).

Senior Card Holders can attend any unreserved film at the festival before 5pm for $5.00.

Single tickets to any reserved sessions are $11.50. Reserved sessions are marked with an R in the schedule (reserved means you must book a ticket in advance to these sessions as availability of seats will be limited).

Late night sessions are a bargain at $7.00 a ticket. Prepare to be spooked!

Take 10 Pass and Take 5 Pass

These passes allow you to see either 10 or 5 films for a discounted price. The cost of a Take 10 Pass is $92.50 or $82.50 concession and the Take 5 Pass is $47.50 or $42.50 concession. For reserved sessions Take 10 and Take 5 passes must exchange a voucher for an actual ticket.

It also advised that for unreserved sessions you go through the same process to guarantee a ticket. These passes are valid at all venues. (Check out to see if you are eligible for any ticket discounts.)
