Title: OT - Opening night tickets!
Post by: Sandwich on May 15, 2002, 03:31:59 pm
Hehehe - I love living here. I just went to the theatres with my friend to buy tickets for Episode 2, and got them with no problems, and no wait! I was there only 27 hours or so before the first showing, too. :D

Row 5, seats 11-14. :D

I pity all you westerners who'll have to stand in line for hours upon days to get tickets sometime in the next week or two. :D

:lol:

Well, I can buy the tickets through the 'net if I want, and pick it up at any time at the theater without any lines. The seats are not usually numbered here, so I'd just have to get to the theater kinda early. The problem is - AotC will only start in two months here... :p

Seeing it at 1PM tomorrow. Ah, life is sweet.

Plus, I watched the full Phantom Menace DVD today; it does improve it with the extended scenes and the deleted ones in terms of explanation though it's hella-long...and Anakin is still the most annoying character ever.

Yes, more annoying than Jar Jar Binks. ;) :rolleyes:

Some things are better left unsaid.

No they're not. I'm not willing to take it on faith. I want to know everything.

Heh...on occasion some things are better left unsaid....but alot of the time, if everyone was open about some things, then nobody would be shocked to hear it.

I'll be going sometime next week to see Ep2 at some crazy time like 12:00 noon :)

Pfffft you have to buy in advanced? At the theater I go to, you can walk in, buy a ticket, hit the popcorn stand, and be at your seat (unassigned) within 5 minutes (opening night or not. :D ). :lol:

Hehehe - when you consider that there's only one theater house - 6 theaters in it - in Jerusalem that's carrying the movie, I'd say that getting tickets a day ahead of time was good. :)

AcePace - sorry bout that, chaver. :wink:

I bought tickets for Ep2 on opening weekend for Spiderman (while I was buying my Spiderman ticket, I saw that they were selling Ep2 tickets, so I did an impulse buy.)

I then went downtown and stood in line for 3 hours for the midnight showing.  Just got back.  I'm a happy person.

BTW - the standing in line for 3 hours bit was for the experience....I've never done that before.  It wasn't necessary, I could've gotten a decent seat w/out standing in line at all (in fact, the seat next to me was empty through the whole showing, and I considered where I was to be near-perfect...a little far back, but dead center).

Anyway, as I said.  I'm happy.  (-:

Usually I'd just go buy a good quality pirated DVD 2 weeks after the movie release, but I think in this case, you have to see it in the movie theater...
