Badge Faqs

Friends who want to attend screenings and parties should grab a Comedy Fan or Platinum badge. Certain filmmaker‑only events and lounges remain restricted.

when is the festival date?

October 10-11, 2026

We're expanding to a full two-day festival for the first time in 16 years, and the October dates allow us to bring you more films, bigger guests, and a better overall experience.

Earlier this year, government disruptions and platform technical updates impacted our timeline, so we shifted to October to ensure a smooth, well-prepared festival for our filmmakers and attendees. Email correspondence has been sent to all filmmakers with updated details.

If you have not received any email or it has gone to spam, please contact us at hello@houstonccomedyfilmfestival.com.

Ticket sales open April 1, 2026. Early-bird pricing is available through March 31—lock in your pass before prices increase.

Yes for Platinum, Filmmaker, and Comedy Fan passes. Student passes include general admission.

Every screening, panel, and event on the schedule is labeled with which pass types can attend. You can filter events by your pass type to see everything your badge unlocks.

Platinum ($250): All-access to screenings, panels, filmmaker meet-and-greets, VIP lounge, and party

Filmmaker ($100): All screenings, panels, networking events, and party access

Comedy Fan ($75): All screenings, select panels, and general admission to the party

Student ($50): All screenings and general festival access (valid student ID required)

Both days feature different films, panels, and guests. You can buy a single-day pass or a 2-day pass for full access to everything.

We recommend arriving 15–20 minutes before doors open at 8:00 AM. Early arrival gives you time to check in, grab food/drinks, and find your seat before the opening remarks.

Yes! Limited upgrades are available at the box office, subject to availability. Upgrades are first-come, first-served. We recommend purchasing your preferred tier in advance to guarantee access.
