How to Book 2026 Busan International Film Festival Tickets, Screening Schedule, and On-Site Purchase

Ticket sales for the 2026 Busan International Film Festival (BIFF) are currently underway via the official website. The festival runs for 10 days, from October 6th to October 15th, with screenings at venues including the Busan Cinema Center, CGV Centum City, and Lotte Cinema Centum City. It is advisable to check online booking first for desired films, as on-site ticket purchases are only available for remaining seats, not for films sold out online.

Tickets can be purchased through the official BIFF website's ticketing menu. Even if you registered last year, new registration is required for 2026. A maximum of two tickets can be booked per screening code, and payments can be made via credit card, debit card, or simple payment methods. Ticket prices vary: opening/closing ceremonies are 30,000 KRW, general screenings 10,000 KRW, Cine Class 10,000 KRW, Actors House 15,000 KRW, Master Class 15,000 KRW, and Midnight Passion 20,000 KRW. The screening schedule was released on September 11th at 5 PM, with booking for opening/closing ceremonies starting on September 17th at 2 PM, and general screenings on September 21st at 2 PM.

Bloggers emphasize the importance of new registrant registration before booking and recommend carefully checking the screening schedule for venue, start time, screening code, and GV (Guest Visit) availability. They advise reconfirming the official schedule on the day of attendance, especially if attending for a GV. Some also suggest that even if a screening is sold out, canceled tickets might become available, so checking frequently can be beneficial.
