2 2 S X S W o r l d | F I L M / I A M A R C H 2 0 1 5 | S X S W. C O M How to Attend Films at SXSW Film entry procedures at SXSW are pretty straightforward, but here's the key info: 1st - SXSW Film, Gold & Platinum badge holders with SXXpress passes for the screening are allowed entry. 2nd - The remaining Film, Gold & Platinum badge holders are allowed entry. 3rd - If seats remain after all badge holders have been let in, Film Wristband holders will be allowed entry. 4th - Single-admission tickets will be sold for $10 starting 15 minutes before showtime (if available). For best results, consult our Venue Status Boards, either at the venues themselves, or online at vsb.sxsw.com. They're a great way to help determine whether a venue has seats available: GREEN means GO! - Lots of seats left YELLOW means HURRY! - It's filling up fast, so hustle. RED means FULL! - No need to try this one, it's sold out. SXSW Music Sessions Open to Film Badgeholders Convergence programming won't end on Tuesday! Film and Gold badgeholders will have access to a number of SXSW Music sessions from Wednesday, March 18 - Friday, March 20.
