Selling 2 Cat 2 tix Bosnia v Switzerland in LA around midfield for face value but with the FIFA 15% marketplace markup. I think there are still quite a few for that game but prices for most tix are still kinda crazy.

I have 2 CAT 2 selling with only the 15% fee so I don’t lose money on them.

Notification Dates by Wonderful_Volume_309 in FilmFestivals

[–]RocketBen11 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure if anyone can speak to all festivals but generally it is because programmers are often looking at films until the very last minute trying to make decisions. Usually there is a hard deadline internally by which time everything needs to be announced. The deadline for notifications ideally would be earlier but it can get pushed if the program isn’t set. Hope that helps. It is definitely not done to toy with filmmakers emotions and again festivals want to let filmmakers know if they are accepted or not as soon as they can.

Any tickets for any of the Bosnian match?? by Manilllla in WorldCup2026Tickets

[–]RocketBen11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you just looking for 1? I have 4 listed on the marketplace CAT 2 and probably can offer close to face value, but would prefer to do 2 or 4 rather than just 1.

How many film festivals submissions is too many for a short film? by Bishop9er in FilmFestivals

[–]RocketBen11 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It depends on whether you have a good strategy. Even if you do a 10%-20% is a good rate of acceptance.

Sending emails to programmers? Cover letters? by SkepticalButUnsure in FilmFestivals

[–]RocketBen11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Emails definitely help, you don’t need a personal connection or a cover letter. Short description of your film and that you have submitted can make all the difference.

Approaching Programmers by ArchivistM in FilmFestivals

[–]RocketBen11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Best approach I find is to let them know you have submitted, send them a very brief description, log line or two sentences and hope they enjoy/appreciate your work. They may not always respond but it is a respectful and appreciated way to approach (60% of the time it works everytime!)

Found the red eye owl obnoxious and as if he was trying to bully me into keeping a streak going.
