With the Sundance Film Festival returning to Park City, Utah, next month, Chase Sapphire Reserve^® cardholders have a new reason to head to the mountains.

Chase has just announced a list of exclusive, on-the-ground experiences tied to the 2026 Sundance festival — from film panels and private parties to elevated dining — all designed to give cardmembers exclusive access.

Here’s what Chase has planned for those with its premium card.

Chase Sapphire Reserve Cardmembers Get Special Access at Sundance 2026

If you have the Chase Sapphire Reserve card — or you’re thinking about upgrading from the Chase Sapphire Preferred^® Card — and you’re planning to be in Park City for next month’s Sundance Film Festival from January 22 to 27, this is worth paying attention to.

Chase is offering cardmembers special access and on-site experiences designed to make the festival feel a bit more elevated beyond just movie screenings.

Here’s what Chase Sapphire Reserve cardmembers can access during the 2026 Sundance Film Festival:

Chase Sapphire Reserve Experience (January 23–27): Daily access for you and 1 guest to an elevated lounge space with complimentary bites from Frasca Hospitality Group, plus coffee and hot cocoa available next door for quick grab-and-go stops between screenings. No reservations are required, though entry is first-come, first-served during busy periods.
Morning Film Panels (January 23–27): Daily panel discussions featuring casts and creatives from some of the festival’s most buzzed-about films, hosted inside the Sapphire Reserve Experience. These sessions are open to cardmembers without reservations, subject to space availability.
Frasca Food and Wine Pop-Up (January 23–27): Cardmembers can book dinner at the Frasca Food and Wine pop-up, bringing the award-winning Boulder restaurant to Park City with a festival-friendly à la carte menu. Reservations are available via OpenTable as of December 11.
Opening Night Experiences Access Pass (January 22): Access includes a luxury dining experience at the Frasca pop-up, VIP reserved seating for a day-one film screening, and entry to an opening-night party at the Chase Sapphire Reserve Experience.
Chase Sapphire Reserve Premiere Party (January 24): Cardmembers can redeem Ultimate Rewards points for tickets to a premiere party featuring a DJ, open bar, and curated bites.
Hotel Bookings via Chase Travel: If you’re still planning your trip, Chase Travel offers bookable Park City hotels for Sundance, including select properties in The Edit collection.

If you’re attending Sundance and have a Chase Sapphire Reserve card, these offerings provide exclusive access that can significantly enhance your festival experience.

Hot Tip:

Some of these events require redeeming Ultimate Rewards points, rather than paying with your card to get in. If you’re planning to attend Sundance, make sure your points balance is ready before booking opens. Here are some great ways to earn Ultimate Rewards points.

Final Thoughts

Chase continues to lean into experiential perks for its Chase Sapphire Reserve cardholders, and Sundance 2026 is another strong example of that strategy. If you’re already planning a trip — or looking for an excuse to go — these experiences add real, tangible value beyond the points and credits you’re use to on your card.
