While the Santa Barbara International Film Festival
doesn't sell single tickets (except the front row just minutes before
the screening begins) there is a way. Gather up your friends, buy a 4-Film MiniPak for $57 or a 10-Film MiniPak for $125
and go in a group. One hour before the screening, change your ticket
for a boarding pass, er, theater pass. Seating isn't assigned, but order
of entry is, just like many airlines. Then you are free to wander.
Seating begins 20 minutes before the screening. One caveat: Premium package
PASS holders are seated first. If you are among the last to pick up
your theater pass, you could get bumped. 5 minutes before, they open
'rush' seating, $15 a pop, front row seating.
The Metro 1 seats 150: if it looks like the Jan 27 and Feb 4
screenings will sell out, they just may book a third in one of the
Festival's TBA slots. Onward!
