JFI members enjoy discounts on ticket offerings and first access to SFJFF tickets in addition to advance screenings and year-round events.
SFJFF Ticket Packages will appear in your JFI account, and can be redeemed for regularly or specially-priced-screenings and events, depending on the package of your choosing. See our FAQ’s below for more information on ticket packages and how to become a member.
What is a Ticket Package?
Ticket Packages are vouchers that come in various sized bundles and can be redeemed for regularly or specially-priced-screenings and events, depending on the package of your choosing.
I purchased a Ticket Package online. How do I redeem my tickets?
1. Sign in with the same username OR email + password you used to purchase your Ticket Package.
2. Navigate to your desired screening and click GET TICKETS.
3. A $0.00 “Ticket Package" option will appear. Select the quantity of tickets you want beside the $0.00 option and click ADD TO CART then proceed to checkout. You will receive an order confirmation when you’ve successfully redeemed your Ticket Package for specific screenings.
If you do not see a $0.00 ticket price after signing in, or cannot find a confirmation e-mail for your Ticket Package purchase, please contact us by emailing boxoffice@sfjff.org.
How do I purchase discounted Ticket Packages at the member rate?
1. On the Box Office page, click BUY NOW, and then click SIGN IN.
2. Use either your email OR username + password or member number + last name to sign in.

In-Person: Tickets are available for purchase at our Festival Box Offices located at each in-person screening venue. Festival Box Offices are open one hour prior to a venue's first show of the day and close fifteen minutes after a venue's last screening starts.
Via phone: Contact the Box Office at 415.621.0568. Tickets, passes, and memberships can be purchased with the Box Office between 11am–5pm, Monday–Friday.
I have a promo/voucher code to use.
How do I pick up the tickets/passes I purchased?
E-Delivery/Print at Home for online purchases. Tickets will arrive as an attachment to the confirmation email you will receive upon completion of your order. You can either print the ticket attachment or present tickets on your mobile device upon entry.
SFJFF45 will utilize digital passes for ease of entry. JFI members whose benefits include Festival Passes will be emailed their passes in the weeks leading up to the festival. You can either print the pass attachment or present the pass' QR code on your mobile device upon entry.
What does it mean if a show is AT RUSH?
When advance tickets are no longer available, a limited number of rush tickets may be available at the door. Rush tickets are available on a first-come, first-served basis depending on how many seats are available after passholders and advance ticket-holders are admitted. Rush tickets are normally sold 10 minutes prior to the screening. Acceptable payment methods are cash, credit card, and applicable vouchers.
When should I arrive at the theater for my movie?
Ticket and pass holders must arrive at least 20 minutes prior to showtime. Ticket or pass holders arriving less than 20 minutes prior to showtime, after ticket holders have been admitted and/or the passholder allotment has been reached, cannot be guaranteed a seat. Upon arrival, look for the hold-out lines marked as either Pass Holder or Ticket Holder, join the line, and wait until the theater is ready for seating.
