How to Fest Without Passes or Tickets

Unable to purchase a pass or ticket in advance but still want to be a part of the festivities? There are a number of films and events that are free or do not require a ticket.

FREE EVENTS

Turn Full Frame’s 4-day event into your very own free fest weekend! There are film panels, outdoor movies, and more specialty programs that are free and open to the public. Join us Thursday for our “Late Night Birthday Bash” at 21c Museum Hotel and Sunday night for our Closing Night Party and free closing night film (free ticket required) in the historic Carolina Theatre. The “Late Night Birthday Bash” and Closing Night Party are free and open to the public (no ticket required).

LAST MINUTE LINE

What is the Last Minute Line?
We try to make sure every seat in the theater is filled. Once everyone with a ticket has been seated, open seats will be sold to the people standing in the Last Minute Line. Tickets are cash only ($15) and seating is first come, first served.

When will I know if I’ll get in through the Last Minute Line?
Last Minute Line tickets only become available if ticketholders do not arrive by the start of a program. At that time, the venue team will count open seats and then sell those seats to the people standing in the Last Minute Line. Passholders without tickets may utilize the Last Minute Line for free.
