HOW TO BUY TICKETS

Tickets are now on sale for all events. We encourage you to order early to avoid sold out shows. There are four options:

ONLINE:
There are specific ticket links on each film and event page. There is a $1 per ticket service charge for tickets purchased online, except for IFC Center members, who pay no online fees.

IN-PERSON: ADVANCE TICKETS
DOC NYC’s main box office is at IFC Center (323 Sixth Avenue at West Third Street, open daily 10:30am–10pm). You can purchase tickets there for all DOC NYC films and events no matter where they take place. In-person advance tickets can only be purchased at IFC Center, not at NYU’s Skirball or Kimmel Center.

IN-PERSON: DAY OF EVENT
If available, tickets will be on sale at the specific screening venue only. Rush lines for sold out shows will form one hour before showtime at the specific screening venue.

RUSH LINE
For sold out shows, a limited number of tickets may be released 15 minutes before showtime on a first come, first served basis.

Purchasing a pass:
Insider Passes can be purchased online here or in person at the IFC Center box office. After purchase, bring your receipt to the DOC NYC festival table in IFC Center’s lobby 11:00am-6:00pm starting November 1 to claim your badge.

Using the pass:
Passholders must show their badge at the IFC Center box office to retrieve a hard ticket; tickets may be claimed beginning one hour prior to the event.

Insider Passes will not provide entry to sold-out films or events. In the case of a sold-out show, Insider Passholders may wait in the rush line for available seats to be released on a first-come, first-served basis and will be admitted free, space permitting.

Insider Passes are not transferable.

HOW TO RETRIEVE TICKETS

Tickets for all IFC Center screenings and any advance tickets for other venues may be claimed at the IFC Center box office, open from 10:30am daily. If not previously retrieved, tickets for NYU venues will held at a will-call table at the specific NYU venue on the day of the individual event, beginning one hour prior to showtime.
