All Parking is General Admission
Tickets are general admission and per vehicle (rather than per person), there is no assigned parking. Staff will do their best to accommodate all vehicles. For sightline reasons, taller vehicles such as SUVs will be parked towards the rear of the venue so as not to block the views of smaller cars (when possible).

Ticketing and Check In
Upon purchasing a ticket, you will receive a confirmation email with your ticket and instructions. Tickets can be printed at home and brought to the venue or displayed on a mobile device. There will be no Will Call at the venue as all tickets will be delivered electronically. Festival staff will scan tickets through the window of your vehicle.

Between Shows
All vehicles must exit after each program. If you have tickets to two programs on the same night, you will need to exit the lot and re-enter between programs.

At RUSH
If a program is at RUSH, tickets may be released and sold at noon on the day of the event, and may be purchased online. Keep an eye on RUSH program pages for available tickets.

Late Arrivals
In order to ensure all patrons have an enjoyable experience please arrive early. Any late arrivals, 20 minutes after the showing has begun, will not be permitted into the event. Tickets are neither non-refundable nor exchangeable.

Restroom Use 
When patrons exit their vehicles to use the restroom facilities, they must wear a face mask over their nose and mouth at all times and adhere to protocols laid out by restroom docents, e.g., one person at a time in the restroom, 6ft apart in lines, etc. The restrooms at the Drive-In are gender neutral.

Occupancy for Vehicle 
Each vehicle may only be occupied by members of the same household who have already been in close contact with each other.

Headlights
Car headlights must be turned off during the film. Prior to arrival, please locate how to manually turn car headlights off.

FAQ

Tickets at the door?
For safety reasons, we are limiting ticket sales to online only.

Face Mask?
You will need your face mask over your nose and mouth at all times when you are not in your vehicle. This accounts for restroom use, concession purchasing, or leaving the footprint of your vehicle for any reason.

Film Audio? 
Audio will be broadcasted through FM stereo sound that is tuned directly through your car’s FM stereo. Turn your key to accessory mode to keep your stereo on. If you don’t have an FM stereo, please bring a portable radio–there are limited numbers available for use at the event. In the rare instance that your battery dies, we will have jumper cables to get you on your way.

Bathrooms?
Bathrooms are located in Building D (the long building flanking the right-side of the parking area). Bathrooms are gender neutral.

Concessions?
Regular concessions will be available. More details to come.

Can I bring my dog?
Service animals on a leash and under their owner’s control are allowed at Fort Mason. Emotional Support animals and other pets are not.

Sitting in the back of your car with the trunk open?
We will try to accommodate these requests. Please inform our parking staff on arrival if you would like to do so. You must remain within the footprint of your vehicle at all times.

Can I bring chairs and sit outside of my car?
No, you must stay within your car footprint at all times.
