BFI London Film Festival 7-18 October 2026

[LlynTegid]

Programme is out, tickets on general sale 17 September. Now to study the programme!

Had a look through this afternoon. I’ve got the beginnings of a list but haven’t been through them
all yet. There will be a lot of whittling going on.

Anyone else booking today? I’m hoping to go to the Andrew Scott Q&A.
I also want to book for Prince - Argentinian film about a dog.

My budget is limited so I won’t book anything that’s likely to be on at our local cinema.

I've just got all mine - I managed to get straight on the site at 10am which was a change from last year 😀

I have tickets for the Ink and Wildwood galas plus 14th, Nightborn, Inherit and Pakeezah (the new restoration acreening in the IMAX). The only one I skipped was Godzilla at the IMAX which is out in November anyway; the only seats left were the eye bleeders at the front.

After that I'll pick what I fancy on the day. The free talks and whatnot are bookable from October 1st, I think

I got mine after a 50 min wait in the queue.

The Sofia Coppola talk and the surprise film are my highlights - can't wait

Same, I looked up a lot of UK cinema release dates and didn't go for anything at the festival that is coming out in cinemas later this year to save a bit of cash and time

I couldn’t log on until 10.30 and by that time the queue was massive!
The Andrew Scott event was inevitably sold out by the time I got on. I did manage Prince tickets though.

@Porkpieandmustard that looks a great film - and is now sold out, you did well!

I had the same issue and all bar one of my choices were sold out.

I had the same last year and it was incredibly frustrating - looking at last years ticket email it was 11.38 when I finally got my tickets, checked out and paid. I was dreading the same this year but I was really lucky.
