Dawson/97/anyone - do you generally buy TIFF tickets in advance or wait 'til you get there? -- nm - Meg Jul 13, 19:20 7
- We always bought a package which allowed us to have (at least some) priority in choosing films. - ty97 Jul 13, 22:55 1

- Hmmm... I wonder if I could make TIFF work this year -- nm - Dano Jul 13, 19:26
- A mix of both. If you buy a package, you have to select your films in advance, but there are always some tickets reserved for people who queue. - Roger More Jul 13, 19:23 2
  - Yep, I'm not sure if I'd benefit from a package. Probably just take my chances. - Meg Jul 13, 19:31 1
