Hi all! I am planning my first trip out to LA next spring for the 2016 film fest and it will be my first time attending. I was just looking for a good place to get in touch with people who have previously attended because I have a lot of questions and would love some advice. My biggest concern is about the passes. I don't know if they are the same every year in terms of what you get/don't get with each level. My budget will only allow for one of the cheaper two passes- either the palace or classic. I was unaware until recently that the palace pass doesn't include Thursday. I am really leaning against that so I am more curious about people's thoughts on the classic pass. Any advice on the passes, logistics of screenings (how early you need to show up to one for a seat, do seats run out? etc.), and hotels would be greatly appreciated. I'd just love any tips and advice from people who have been there before. Thanks so much!
