TIFF fans grapple with ticket price hikes

The Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) has faced criticism from attendees over significant increases in ticket prices, with some premium screenings surpassing $100 for the first time in recent years. Attendees like Arjun Singh and Joel Chico expressed concerns about the rising costs, noting that while prices have gradually increased over the years, this year's hikes have made the experience more financially burdensome. Regular screenings start at $30 for non-members, while premium screenings begin at $46, though many premium seats sold for up to $106. Some attendees have reduced their participation in galas or opted for cheaper regular screenings. TIFF did not provide specific price caps for seats this year, despite typically releasing such information beforehand. While some fans still enjoy the experience despite the costs, others worry about becoming priced out of the event, which was once known for its affordability.
