Sundance Festival Locals And Group Tickets Go On Sale

Now's the time to start planning if you want to attend Sundance Film Festival this winter. Festival passes for local people and groups go on sale tomorrow (Sept. 18). Individual ticket sales will begin later in the fall.

The festival runs January 17 – 27, 2013, in Park City, Salt Lake City and surrounding communities.

The festival is huge and screenings often sell out. Park City hotels and motels are booked solid during the period. If you want to stay in Park City during the festival you need to book soon. Salt Lake City lodging options are more numerous and so you can always stay there, even if you procrastinate until the last minute, but the nicer places will fill up quickly.

Details about the films and screenings will be released during the next several weeks. As always, there will be plenty of parties and stars on hand. The Sundance website has details about ticket sales and great information to help you plan an enjoyable Sundance experience.

Don't forget, Sundance takes place during prime ski season in Utah. It is really fun to mix festival activities with time on the slopes. Many think our ski resorts will be crowded because of Sundance but the opposite is true. Many skiers stay about because of the crazy atmosphere that accompanies the festival and so the slopes are often uncrowded.
