Additional Information

Doc Edge Festival 2026 strives to be a fully cashless event. All venue transactions are made through our ticketing platform, and we encourage all attendees to have a credit or debit card ready for purchases.

We understand that a small number of our loyal audience members prefer to pay with cash. If you plan to pay cash on the day, we kindly ask that you bring the exact amount to help us keep things moving smoothly for everyone.

All seats are allocated. To secure your preferred seat, we recommend booking early. If you require accessible seating or special arrangements, please contact us — we are happy to assist.

Screenings will start promptly. To ensure a seamless experience for audiences and filmmakers, late entry will only be allowed at appropriate times during the screening.

All ticket sales are final – no refunds or exchanges for late arrivals or missed screenings.
