Film festival ticket buying a waiting game

Along with their checkbooks and program schedule, those going to order tickets for the Wisconsin Film Festival might want to bring some patience with them.

With no option for ordering tickets online this year, all ticket requests for the immensely popular festival by phone, fax or in person must go through the festival box office at the UW Memorial Union. That’s meant some long waits for patrons, sometimes more than 90 minutes during the first couple of on-sale days.
