Important things to know before attending Adelaide Film Festival
Tickets
First, you’ll need your tickets. One film is never enough, so we would recommend an AFF Multipass which will be the best bet for you to experience as much as you need.
Prefer browsing in person? You will be able to visit our AFF Box Office located at the Palace Nova Eastend Cinemas, Adelaide. We will be open daily from early October and throughout the 2023 Adelaide Film Festival.
You can buy a 3, 7 or 10 MultiPass to dip your toes in the water, or AFF fanatics can buy a Gold or Platinum Pass to squeeze as much in as humanly possible. AFF’s most loyal fans can purchase an AFF Membership to get discounted tickets and special benefits throughout the festival.
For more details visit our Ticketing Information page.
Once you’ve purchased your tickets, they will be emailed to you and can be scanned at the cinema door for entry. Show your ticket on your phone, print it out, or collect a printout from the AFF Box Office.
