When advance tickets are no longer available, screenings will be marked “At-Rush.” At venues for “At-Rush” screenings, join the designated Rush Line for a chance to purchase a ticket just before showtime. We always try our best to find seats for everyone, but joining the Rush Line does not guarantee entry.

The Box Office may release tickets each day at noon for high-demand screenings that are marked as “At-Rush.” Please visit our Film Guide daily for a chance to score day-of tickets.

All Frameline50 venues are wheelchair accessible. For more information about accessibility, including information about venue accessibility and Festival screenings with closed captions, open captions, audio description, and/or ASL Interpretation, please visit our dedicated Accessibility page or contact boxoffice@frameline.org.

We value creative expression, diversity in all its forms, and the multitude of lived experiences and perspectives of those who make up our community.

That said, our events are to be free of harassment and discrimination based on sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, race, ethnicity, nationality, religion, class, age, or ability. Harassment, including threatening behavior, language, physical acts of violence, and creating a hostile environment, will NOT be tolerated. When this Code of Conduct is violated, Frameline reserves the right to revoke, without notice or refund, tickets, passes, credentials, or access to our events and venues. Retaliation against individuals who report violations of this Code of Conduct or who participate in an investigation is strictly prohibited and will be treated as a separate violation.
