urluckyday Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 I really really need to go to one of the first showings of Star Wars Ep 3! Is there a good way to get tickets before they are sold out??? THANKS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shok_Tinoktin Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 Buy advanced tickets months ahead of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shok_Tinoktin Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 I bought my tickets for the last two months in advanced, and that was for the regular showing. I don't think my theatre does that normally, but they did for the last two SW movies, and I assume they will for this too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stingerhs Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 i'll probably do what i normally do and wait a couple of days first, then go see it as a matinee or something (saves time and money that way) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JinniX Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 Naw, I will just wait. Its easier than paying $13.00 for two people and then about $5.00 for popcorn and soda. So I will just wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurgan Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 One guy was on the news because he is ALREADY waiting in line for the movie. Â My first thought was "this is just a homeless guy, not a Star Wars fan!" then I thought maybe he was seroius. He's going for some world record or something. Â So you have this guy wearing a hat & coat sleeping on a couch in front of a theater. I would think they'd make him leave or something. How does he eat? Go to the bathroom? Â Does he have somebody hold his place in line for him? Do people bring him food and supplies? Since he must have no job, who's paying for him to stand/sit/lie around all day, day after day? Â Â Maybe there is a port-a-potty nearby (or go inside the theater and use their toilet), and maybe he has a laptop with him or something (batteries wouldn't last forever though). Or he could "live in his car" for awhile and have people visit you each day, but man would that get boring. No showering for months? Uggh. Â To do it you'd need a team of people to support you if you really had to stay in front of the theater. Â Â I can understand waiting in line maybe a week before a movie, MAX, like with a tent or something (and that alone makes you an obsessive fan or an attention wh0re who wants to be on TV), but sleeping on a couch a whole FOUR MONTHS before the movie comes out? Â That's just plain INSANE! Â No movie is going to be worth that long of a wait. I wonder if he'll actually hold out long enough to get in first, and how long the second person in line will be. Â Then again, I think the first guy will look crazy. The second guy will look crazy. But maybe after the 20th guy it will start to look less crazy. But then I remember we had hundreds or thousands of people waiting for Episode I and II and they got made fun of for being crazy fans. Imagine what this guy must be thought of! Â I'd give him a week tops, before he gives up... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swphreak Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 I am perfectly content to see it a week after it comes out. Besides, I'll be reading the Ep3 novel first anyways, so I know what happens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revan Solo Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 Even when it would be bad, I must see it because it is Star Wars. When you are a Star Wars fan you must know what is happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stingerhs Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 Originally posted by Kurgan One guy was on the news because he is ALREADY waiting in line for the movie. sry for not sounding like a delusional fanboy, but i can't even see why fanboys insist on making the first showings to some of these movies. for me, no movie is worth a week sleeping in some tent outside of a theater. Â if you factor in the cost (for me, anyway): Movie Ticket: -$6.25 Missing 25hrs of work: -$175(before taxes, and yes, thats $7/hr) Missing my classes @ college: -$257 (which i've already paid for) ______________________________ Â Total cost: -$438.25 just to catch the first showing of SW: EpIII.

Revan Solo Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 Yes, you are right! I will watch the film when I have time. That means that it needn't to be the first show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ET Warrior Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 The insistence on being to a first showing is because it's a once ina life-time thing. You will never, EVER get to see the first showing of Star Wars: Episode III again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Sitherino Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 Exactly. Â and once again, ET makes a great point, as he so often does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Â Â Not only will it be the only time you can see Star Wars Episode 3 for the first showing, but because this is probably the last Star Wars to be released, it makes it even more special.

You will never, EVER get to see the first showing of Star Wars: Episode III again. still, does that justify losing about $440??? me, being a college student, most definately not. Â you have to understand my priorities: what is going to be more important to me in the long run, the very first showing of SW: Ep. III, or making sure I have $440 in the bank for future college costs?? Â as i've said before, as much as i love star wars, i just can't justify losing $440 of my hard earned money for a first showing. there is more to life than star wars, at least for me.

And you have what to do with those who are willing to make sacrifices to see it for the first screening? Noones trying to convince you to see the first screening mate.

stingerhs Posted January 22, 2005 Share Posted January 22, 2005 ^^^^ ahh, thats true. it just came across that way. Â for the record: i definately applaud those that are willing to make a sacrifice for the movie. you guys rock, and i wish i could be there.

coupes. Posted January 22, 2005 Share Posted January 22, 2005 And just how will the first screening be any better than any other ? When I see the movie, it'll still be the first time I see it whether it's the fisrt screening in the whole world or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Sitherino Posted January 22, 2005 Share Posted January 22, 2005 I could care less about it being the first screening, I just want to see it as soon as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revan Solo Posted January 22, 2005 Share Posted January 22, 2005 I will watch it when my friends have time to go with me. We want to go together and that couldn't be possible if we want to go to the first screening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astrotoy7 Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 does it really matter whether it is a premiere.... I mean it is the first time *you* will be seeing it, whether or not everyone else is no big deal.... dont forget , alot of Europe is getting EpIII on the 18th ! Not only that, but as for myself in Australia, I would have seen it, gone home, gone to bed, woken up, had breakfast, gone to see it, and it wouldnt have been shown in the US yet...

Revan Solo Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 In Europe at 18? Earlier than the US? That seems a little bit strange to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sivy Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 i'll probably book my seat a week or so in advance. i live in a fairly small town, yet there are a few theaters to choose from. so i doubt i'll have any problems seeing it on the 19th.

Revan Solo Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 In my town I haven't to book any seats. I go into cinema at the first show and it will be empty! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynk Former Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 Down here there really isn't any need to preorder tickets, there are enough cinema's around and it's not like the entire population is gonna see the same movie at the exact same time XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swphreak Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 Sure, not the entire population, but the entire geekdom will go see it at the same time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
