Ticket options for 2012 Sundance Film Festival

PARK CITY, Utah — Ticket information has been released for the 2012 Sundance Film Festival.

The Sundance Institute, founded by Robert Redford in 1981, encourages locals hoping to attend the 2012 festival (Jan. 19-29) who don’t already have tickets to consider individual ticket options at screening venues in Park City, Salt Lake City, Ogden and Sundance Resort.

For tickets in Park City and Salt Lake City, locals may register to purchase individual tickets at www. Sundance.org/tickets before Dec. 19. They will receive time slots to purchase tickets in person at Park City and Salt Lake City box offices on Jan. 7-8. Time slots are randomly assigned to best accommodate the volume of requests for tickets. Locals with time slots at either location will then be eligible to purchase tickets to screenings at all locations. Assignments to purchase tickets at the Park City box office are reserved for Summit and Wasatch County residents only.

Tickets at Ogden’s Peery’s Egyptian Theater and the Sundance Institute Screening Room at Sundance Resort do not require advance online registration to purchase individual tickets. Individual ticket sales at Ogden and the Sundance Resort are only for screenings at their respective locations.

A limited selection of passes and ticket packages for the festival are available for immediate purchase at http://www.sundance.org/festival/tickets/purchase/.
