Our Express Line Pass is given as special recognition to our contributors who can donate $100 or more. During Cinequest Film Festival 20, all pass and individual ticket holders queue up together into one line on a first come first served basis. With our Express Line Pass, and a Festival Pass or individual ticket, you can bypass that line and get priority entry to the event venue. It is our way of saying thank you for supporting Cinequest!
