4. I’m a PFS member, why wasn’t I invited to a Sneak Preview Screening?
PFS receives a limited number of seats to each screening and cannot always accommodate every member and their guest. Premiere level members receive an advanced invitation to every preview screening PFS offers, basic level members receive invitations based on availability starting with the highest membership level. Note that the initial invitation level is indicated for each Sneak Preview screening above the event day and time, however, invitations are often extended to additional membership levels when space is available. PFS works to secure as many seats as possible to each preview screening.
5. How do I secure my complimentary tickets to Sneak Preview Screenings?
Qualified members will receive preview screening invitations via email through the Eventbrite invitation system. If you would like to attend the screening you can confirm your seats by clicking “attend event,” entering your name and email and specifying whether you’d like 1 or 2 seats to the screening. If tickets are available you will receive a confirmation e-mail with check-in instructions and your name is automatically added to our screening list. Note: As a courtesy to all PFS members, Sneak Preview invitations are non-transferrable and may only be used by a current PFS member and their guest.
6. How do I obtain Reserved Seats at Screenings?
If you are a Producer, Executive Producer or Studio Mogul member, you are entitled to reserved seats at every screening you attend, unless otherwise noted. Members at select levels must RSVP to secure reserved seats. Note: Reserved seats cannot be held after a films scheduled start time.
7. I received an Invitation E-mail, but I wasn’t on the list at the screening.
You must RSVP to all screenings you wish to attend. You will not be guaranteed a seat unless you RSVP and receive an email confirmation. If you are having problems registering for a preview screening, please call 267-239-2941 or email membership@filmadelphia.org.
8. Is there anything else I need to know?
Occasionally, film studios will have increased security measures for Sneak Preview screenings. This is not arranged or controlled by PFS. In an effort to prevent any form of piracy, the following security measures may be enforced at Sneak Preview screenings at any time:
Please plan accordingly.
Cell phones and pagers should be set to Off or Vibrate during a Sneak Preview screening. No text messaging or use of other electronic devices such as Tablets are permitted during the screening of the film.
