We are happy to let you walk up and grab a seat as a passholder, and this is always fine at the Orpheum or Century II. But please know that some venues have a smaller capacity, so if you want to guarantee a seat and a stress-free festival, snag a free ticket online in advance! This is most important at the Emily Bonavia Tallgrass Film Center with only 30 seats.
To claim single tickets with your pass for free, while logged in, go to the menu (left upper hand corner) and select film guide (pictured below).
Scroll through the film options and select a film that you may want to see. After reading its details, select a showing (sizeable button on the film page) to see the pop-up below:
Click the preferred date and time (films play once in person, and many play on our virtual Eventive platform at home) and quick order for $0 to obtain your free ticket using your pass.

TFA Transportation & Parking
A Park and Ride Shuttle, sponsored by CarStar, will travel between venues every 30 minutes, so you can park once and ride free all day.
Many of our venues are located on the Q-line route – a free trolley that gets you where you need to go throughout Downtown Wichita. Look for the Q emblem on the sidewalk and take a free ride down Douglas. Details on route and schedule available at wichitatransit.org.
Uber and Lyft are also available.
Metered parking is available on the street for a fee during weekdays but is free after 5:00 p.m. and on weekends. Accessible parking is available at each venue
Virtual Cinema How-To
A majority of the films in our program will be available both online and in person but some films are only available in certain regions or not available online at all. To check to see if the film you want to see is available online check the film guide on Eventive. Globally means you can watch it everywhere (on Earth), USA, you can see it anywhere in the States, Kansas means only in the Land of Oz, and Not available is for films that are ONLY playing in-person at the festival.
