The Waimea Ocean Film Festival operates on a pass system. This enables the festival to organize a dynamic event with rich and complex content, woven together to create an unforgettable experience. While enjoying the festival with a Festival Pass is the ideal way to attend, seats for films and presentations are available for individual ticket purchase 20 minutes prior to each show. These can be purchased at individual theatres.

During the event, the Festival Hospitality Desk is available to answer questions regarding passes during the festival, or you may also contact the festival office at .
