Tickets are $10 for each screening, with a $2 discount for students, and are available at the Virginia Theatre, 203 W. Park Ave., C, or by calling 356-9063.
As of Tuesday, individual tickets were sold out to "Hulk" and "Housekeeping."
People wanting to see a film that is sold out should go to the Virginia box office 30 minutes before screening time and wait in the rush ticket line.
Shortly before the film begins, any empty seats will be sold on a first-come, first-served basis. Since 2002, all festival patrons waiting in line for tickets for sold-out films were able to get in.
The Virginia has a waiting list for those who want to buy festival passes.
In the event additional passes become available, those on the waiting list will be contacted by phone or e-mail, according to the order in which they were added to the list.
They will be given the contact information for people unable to use the passes they purchased; the resale will be conducted directly between the seller and the buyer.
