In the film descriptions, you will find an overview of the screening times for the film you want to see. Choose the time that suits you. Here is a direct link to Vega Scene or Ringen Kino. The actual ticket purchase is made at the cinema where the screening takes place.

Refunds or exchange of tickets

If you wish to exchange or refund tickets, you must do so directly with the cinema from which you purchased the ticket. Purchased tickets are generally not refundable, but you can exchange them for a different screening if done in advance. This must be done in person at the exhibition venue.

If you want to know more, take a look at the refund and exchange policies on the websites of Vega Scene and Nordisk Film Kino.

Refund and exchange for those with a festival pass

If you have a festival pass, we kindly request that you exchange your ticket if you're not going to use it. This way, others can have the pleasure of using your seat. Many of our screenings may sell out, and we don't want to have empty seats in sold-out screenings.

Seating

There are unnumbered seats during this year's festival. That means you can sit wherever you like in the auditorium when you arrive. It also makes it easy to attend the festival with friends without having to buy tickets simultaneously.

Age Limits

All films screened during Oslo Pix have age limits. You can read about them on the film pages on our program site. Parents can bring children that are up to three years younger than the age limit on films screened during the festival. The minimum age limit of 18 years is however absolute and not subject to exemptions. Information about age limits in general can be found at Medietilsynet.

Day Pass

This Year, Oslo Pix Film Festival has introduced something new: "Day Pass" Weekend. These passes are valid only for either Saturday, September 2nd, or Sunday, September 3rd.

Practical Information about the Day Passes:

Please be aware that some screenings may be sold out. If you haven't secured your ticket in advance, there's a risk that you won't get a spot for the film screening. So, it's wise to get tickets for the films you want to see early to ensure your spot.
