Virtual Ticket How To & FAQ
Important Information About Non-Festival Virtual Events and Tickets
How To Purchase A Virtual Ticket
This link will take you to our Film and Events Page, the Festival ticketing system.
To purchase a virtual ticket:
Search for the film or event you would like to attend and click on select that film or event. If you don’t have an account with Elevent Ticketing you will need to register and create an account first. After you complete your purchase, you will receive an email confirmation to the email address registered with the account. THIS IS NOT YOUR VIRTUAL TICKET. You will receive a separate e-mail with a personal link to view the film approximately one hour before the virtual film is available to view. If you can’t find the email with your ticket, you can find it in your Elevent Order History.
Ticket Quantity:
You need purchase only one ticket per household to watch a film. If you have multiple people in your household who will be watching, we encourage you to make a DONATION during the checkout process or any time you feel compelled. (Donations to the Woods Hole Film Festival are tax deductible.)
FOR MEMBERS
Once you’ve logged into your our site with your Elevent account, the member price for tickets will show up automatically and this will be your only option. This is slightly different than it looked for live events, as you will not see a separate ticket for General Admission (non-members) or any other ticket options.
Virtual Event Schedule Info
How does the schedule work for virtual films events?
Virtual screening events take place over one or more calendar days, with the film being available to view starting at a certain time (typically 8:00 a.m. ET) on the start date and ending at midnight on the end date. Ticket sales will typically end at 8:00 p.m. on the end date. (Check individual events for exact times.)
Once you begin to watch a film you will have 48 hours to finish it or until midnight on the final day, whichever comes first. The link you receive to access a film is specific to your ticket and will only be accessed from one device. You will not be able to start watching on one device and finish watching on another. You will also not be able to share the link with anyone else once you have started watching it. You will be able to watch a film more than once within the 48 hour window on the same device.
What time zone is the schedule using?
All times are based on Eastern Standard/Daylight Time.
Access Your Virtual Event
When will I have access to my virtual event or live stream?
You will receive a Virtual Access email to the email address used to purchase your ticket. This is a separate e-mail from your order confirmation. If the virtual event is already available for viewing, you will be presented with a link on the order confirmation screen immediately after purchase to start watching. When the virtual event or access begins at a scheduled date and time, you will receive the Virtual Access email one hour before the virtual event.
I can’t find my Virtual Access email, what do I do?
Be sure to check spam and junk folders. Search your mailbox using “Woods Hole Film Festival” or the email address donotreply@mail.goelevent.com
I can’t find the virtual event access email?
You can access the virtual event from your Elevent Account on your Order History page. Click HERE for direct access. If not logged in, you will need to login first. You will see a view button displayed with the order details.
I don’t see the view button on my order history page, what do I do?
The view button will appear at the scheduled date and time for the virtual event. If you’ve purchased your ticket during the scheduled viewing dates, it may take up to an hour to show up after you’ve placed your order. If you believe the virtual event should be available for viewing and is not, please contact us at support@woodsholefilmfestival.org.
