One Virtual Festival Pass covers a single household, allowing you and your partner, family or roommates to enjoy the whole Virtual Festival if watching together. Viewing the Festival through your Virtual Festival Pass is locked to an Eventive account. You can watch your films on any device in your household with the same Eventive account.
If you are viewing the Festival from different households, you must purchase one Virtual Festival Pass per household.

Once you have purchased a Pass, you must preorder or unlock the films you wish to view - the Virtual Festival Pass does not give you automatic access to them. After they become available for streaming, you will have five days to begin watching. When you start watching, you will have 72 hours to finish it.
When you have reserved your film for a virtual screening, it will appear in the “My Tickets” section, organized by date of availability.
