There's just more than a day left for people to register for ticket packages and passes to the 2013 Sundance Film Festival.
Registration ends at 5 p.m. Wednesday on the Sundance website for the annual movie extravaganza, set for Jan. 17-27 in Park City and at venues in Salt Lake City, Ogden and the Sundance resort.
On Friday, those who register will receive an email notice informing them of when they get to buy passes and packages. (Order is determined by lottery, so it's all fair and square.)

One interesting wrinkle with this year's passes: If you want the $3,000 Express Pass A, which gets you into everything during the festival's first five days, forget about it. It's available now only through the Sundance Institute's Patron Circle program — and they're all sold out now. (Those passes usually get snapped up by Hollywood industry types and Sundance's big donors, anyway.)
