There are 3 Days from Which to Choose:
Friday Sept 15 – Sunday 17th, 2017 

VRTO (Virtual Reality, Toronto) and Constant Change Arts and Technology Initiative present Canada’s original Festival of International Virtual & Augmented Reality Stories featuring 5000 square feet of unique installations, and world premieres in Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality stations from countries as diverse as China, Japan, France, Germany, India, USA, Argentina, Canada and more. 

The festival runs September 15-17th in Toronto, Canada – 10am to 7pm daily at:
House of VR
639 Queen St W, Toronto, ON M5V 2B7 

Tickets are sold for 2-hour blocks for total 40 minutes of viewing, to be selected by you, in person, at the event. 

Your ticket gets you a colored wristband, and a 40 minute RipTix paper ticket that includes 8x 5-minute squares to be redeemed in exchange for programme material of equivalent value.

For example:
– A 14-minute VR experience will be worth 3x 5-minute squares.
– An 8-minute VR experience will be worth 2x 5-minutes squares
– A 3-minute VR experience will be worth 1x 5-minute square 

Please arrive at least 15 mins early or on time, as your ticket will expire at the end of the hour for which your ticket was purchased. You will not be allowed access to VR exhibits for hours for which you do not have a ticket.

Separately, your wristband will also grant you access to General Panels and presentations for ANY day during which FIVARS is happening fro 2-3pm EST, on a FIRST COME basis, so long as there is available space (Panels will be limited to 50 person audience) but will also be recorded for later viewing. 

Due to the carefully timed system, created to minimize wait-times, there are NO refunds for latecomers. No exceptions.

PLEASE PAY VERY CLOSE ATTENTION TO THE DAY & TIME BLOCK ON YOUR TICKET NAME BEFORE AND AFTER PURCHASING. TICKETS MAY APPEAR AS A THREE DAY EVENT BUT YOU WILL ONLY HAVE ACCESS TO YOUR 2 HOUR BLOCK PURCHASE AND THE DAILY MIDDAY TALKS. NO EXCEPTIONS.

YOU MAY PURCHASE TICKETS FOR ADDITIONAL 2 HOUR BLOCKS SEPARATELY IN ADVANCE OR AT THE DOOR.
