For all events, enter through the main building of the J.  Once past the front desk, you’ll find our box office in the Jennifer & David Kaufman Family Living Room.

All films will screen in the Gloria & Harvey Evans Performance Center.

Parties are expected to be in the Kaufman Family Living Room, which is also a great place to hang out between screenings.

AJFF provides a choice of two passes—a Festival Pass provides access for one person to all festival events (including online); a Combo Pass includes all the benefits of the Festival Pass and also provides access to all AJFF365 year-round programs for one person.

Passes are not transferrable and permit only the passholder entry to events.  They do not contain any donation element and thus are not tax-deductible.

Rather than purchasing a pass, you may choose to become a supporter of AJFF. Supporterships are available at different levels, with different benefits.  But all supporterships have the following features:

• Benefits are flexible—they can be used for the supporter and guests.
• Benefits extend to the 2024 Festival and AJFF365 events over the next 12 months.
• Supporters automatically get a 20% discount off extra guest tickets when all their included free tickets are used up.
• Most of the supportership cost is a tax deductible contribution; that portion can be paid from a Donor Advised Fund (DAF) or other tax advantaged account.
• Supporters are recognized on our website and on screen.  They also receive a gift package as a special “thank you.”

Yes.  Since we have a fixed capacity in the Performance Center, it is possible that some screenings may get sold out. To guarantee seats for everyone who wants to attend an event, passholders and supporters should order tickets and come to the theater 20 minutes before showtime. These tickets will be free of charge for passholders and supporters (up to the limits of their benefits).

Also, for some events like parties, we have to make commitments to vendors for food and other items based on the number of attendees.  By requiring everyone to have a ticket, we can provide a more accurate count of the number of people expected.

As a passholder or supporter you can easily order tickets online by logging in to our website, then going to the events you want to attend.  Select the free ticket option, add it to the cart, and check out at no charge.

You may also get tickets at the onsite box office during the festival if there are still unsold seats.  However, we encourage you to order online in advance to avoid possible disappointment. 

If you have difficulty ordering online, contact us at info@AustinJFF.org including your name, phone number, and the events you want to attend, and we’ll contact you to help with ticketing.

Donations are 100% tax deductible and include no benefits other than recognition.  

Supporterships are mostly tax deductible, but they also include benefits that the supporter can use to attend Festival and AJFF365 events.  Supportership tickets can also be used for family and friends.

If you want to support AJFF and intend on coming to at least some events over the next 12 months, you should select a supportership.
