Admission (from www.fantasticfest.com): “Tickets for individual shows will be available in person at the door 15 minutes before each showtime, subject to availability. Regular badge holders will still be able to attend almost everything they want to see at the fest (VIP badge holders are guaranteed a seat at any show as long as they arrive 20 minutes before showtime).”
As the Chronicle went to press, VIP badges were sold out, and fewer than 80 regular badges remained. All times pm unless otherwise noted.
