Tickets & Passes

Festival Passes

The Festival Pass is a great way for a film lover to enjoy as much of the Plaza Classic as possible. The Pass sells for $200 and includes admission to ALL Plaza Classic Film Festival films on tour and online. Since the 2020 Plaza Classic Film Festival will not be held at the Plaza Theatre, due to the novel coronavirus pandemic, we’ll have a series of nightly outdoor movies from July 30 through August 9, and digitally streamed movies on our website from August 5-9. Your pass will allow admission to the outdoor movies and digital content.***

Plaza Classic Film Club

• No Film Club passes will be sold for the 2020 Plaza Classic Film Festival. The passes should be available for the 2021 Plaza Classic at a later date.

For some, cinema appreciation begins early and one of the goals of the Plaza Classic Film Festival is to cultivate a new generation of classic film viewers. The Plaza Classic Film Festival once again offers a club to bring together teens looking to see and discuss some great films. The Plaza Classic Film Club is seeking up to 25 high school students ages 14 to 18 to be a part of its Film Club. Club members will receive full access to all of the Plaza Classic Film Festival’s screenings as well as some special presentations and tours of the historic Plaza Theatre. Plaza Classic Film Club Passes are available for $100.00.
