Tickets for Dome Fest West 2026 are exclusively available for purchase through online channels only. We strongly recommend that you secure your tickets well in advance of the festival dates to guarantee your spot at the event and ensure you don't miss out on this exciting immersive cinema experience.

All-Access Passes, which provide comprehensive entry to all festival events throughout the four-day celebration, are available for purchase on the official Dome Fest West website at Domefestwest.com or alternatively through our Eventbrite event page located at: dfw26.eventbrite.com

Yes, we are pleased to offer multiple pass types to accommodate different attendance preferences and schedules:

1. All-Access Festival Pass: This comprehensive pass provides completely unrestricted access to all Dome Fest West events throughout the entire four-day festival, including all film screenings in the planetarium, all Fulldome Forward Expo panels and presentations, Open Space Roundtables, technology showcases, evening networking events, and festival mixers. This pass is perfect for those who want the complete, immersive festival experience and wish to take full advantage of everything Dome Fest West 2026 has to offer.

2. Single Day Festival Pass (General Admission): This pass grants entry to a single day of either the Film Festival screenings or the Fulldome Forward Expo events. This is an excellent option if you wish to experience just one day of the event, have scheduling constraints that prevent full festival attendance, or want to enjoy a special selection of films and activities on a particular day.

3. Individual Screening Block Ticket (General Admission): This ticket grants entry to a single screening block of curated fulldome films at Fiske Planetarium. This is an excellent option if you wish to experience a specific, carefully curated selection of films without committing to the full festival schedule.

Yes, individual screening block tickets will be available for purchase through the official Dome Fest West website at Domefestwest.com as well as through the Fiske Planetarium's online ticketing platform powered by TicketsWest. More specific and detailed information regarding ticket sales, including exact pricing structures, availability windows, and purchasing procedures, will be officially announced and made public in March 2026.

We are pleased to offer a special VIP upgrade option that provides guaranteed seat reservation privileges for the entire duration of the event. This VIP upgrade is available as an additional purchase on top of the existing All-Access Pass. For all other attendees who do not purchase the VIP upgrade, seating will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, so we encourage you to arrive early to secure your preferred seating location.
