VIP SEATING DETAILS

VIP ticketholders, including all MOPOP Members registering for the festival, receive priority seating in both screening locations: Sound + Vision Theater and Sky Church. Doors will open twenty minutes before each film with members admitted first followed by VIP ticket holders and then by general admission guests.

VIP ticket holders, including all registered MOPOP members, will receive seat markers at check-in and may use those to reserve their seats between screenings and while away from their seats.

Registered event guests may move freely between the film screenings throughout the day but may only reserve seats in one space. For example, you may reserve a seat in Sky Church for The Wizard of Oz, move to a general admission seat in Sound + Vision Theater for part of Return to Oz, and return to your reserved seat in Sky Church. Once your seat is reserved, it is yours for the day until you move your seat marker.
