Tumbleweeds Screening Policies

In-Person Free Film and Event Policies

  • All films at the 2024 Tumbleweeds Film Festival are FREE, but you must have a ticket to view the screening. Tickets are available on a first-come, first-serve basis.
  • Tickets are limited to each event.
    Tickets do not guarantee entry into the event/film. If you are not in your seat 5 minutes before the start of the screening, your ticket might be released and given back to the public.
  • If you reserve a ticket in advance and cannot attend the event, please contact info@utahfilmcenter.org and let us know of your cancellation/release of tickets.

HOW TO GET TICKETS

  • Reserving Tickets Before the Festival
    • Tickets are available to reserve for films and events before the Festival begins through our official website tumbleweedskids.org
  • Walk Up Tickets
    • While reservations are strongly recommended, walk-up tickets are available based on the quantity of tickets remaining after reservations.
  • Waitlist Tickets
    • If an in-person screening is sold out, Utah Film Center will have a waitlist for patrons who were not able to secure a ticket. Utah Film Center will start a waitlist 30 minutes before the screening, located at the entrance to the screening.
    • Utah Film Center staff will count empty seats and no-show tickets 5 minutes before the screening and release the tickets based on quantity in the order of the patrons that are placed on the waitlist.

OTHER DETAILS

  • All photography, videography, and audio recordings are strictly prohibited during the film screening.
    We reserve the right to deny tickets and/or entry and the right to ask attendees to leave.
  • Standing or sitting on the floor, or in the aisles, is not permitted at any venues due to fire code restrictions. Additional seating cannot be added. Once every existing seat is filled, the screening has reached capacity and the doors will be closed.
  • If you arrive after the film has begun, a Utah Film Center staff member can assist in identifying empty seats.
