I just spoke to the box office for the Aventura AMC 24 theater. The box office said that tickets for the LOTR trilogy go on sale at midnight, which is about 11.5 hours from now, not the theater, but online at movietickets.com. However, I just called movietickets.com's customer service number (888-440-8457) and they said that the tickets would be going on sale online at noon (Central time) on Thursday.

Personally, I'm getting up at midnight, judt to check...

Noon was the time I was given when I called last week too.

I suspect the movie theatre may have been mistaken, but I'm still checking back a little later today.

btw, that pink layout is a real eyebuster......

Have you been eating too much cotton candy or something?

I can not wait, I can not wait, I can not wait!

Can not WAIT to see this at the Uptown!

Uptown?
MEH!

Current mood: jealous as all get out

Fandango and theonering.net both say that it is up the individual theatres to set the time that tickets go on sale. But dude, I'd check too.

We're going in Boston to the nice theatre.

Hee hee hee.

Yeah, it's lovely and the screen is to die for, but our butts will be ever so very numb from those evil seats....

Everywhere else says noon too. I called my AMC and they said it's noon for sure. I'm a bit tempted to stay up too just in case. Good luck with getting tickets. :)

Is there a place to find out *which* theatres are doing the trilogy?

[identity profile] heidi8.livejournal.com 2003-10-08 12:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Over at http://www.theonering.net they have a link to a lovely list.

They won't let you order it at Fandango yet, which means I need to coerce my parents into buying it for me at home...

You don't really think they'll sell out that fast, do you?

[identity profile] misako.livejournal.com 2003-10-08 12:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Hopefully not!

Here in Chicago they're expecting to sell out within the first ten minutes or so based upon the number of inquiry calls they've received.

Personally? I'm putting my phones on forward and have notified the people I work with that I will be unavailable between 11:50AM and 12:15PM.

Damn.

I suppose I'd be better off buying the ticket now and figuring out what will happen if I can't go after I've got the ticket.

[identity profile] shelaghc.livejournal.com 2003-10-08 01:35 pm (UTC)(link)
That's a Roger.

No worries - if you *can't* go, you'll almost certainly find a market for the ticket.

Heidi, if/when you get through, can I owe you for one?

(maybe I can swap shifts and take LOTS of caffeine....)

No prob. Will do. I'm getting a ticket for my husband and he's only coming for II and III, so you could always do that too.

Oo! Oo! Aventura isn't that far...hmm...which showing are you going to?

BTW, i just now added you to my friends list...i thought i had done so ages ago, but apparently was mistaken :P So yay!

This is Katy from Ft Lauderdale by the way :)

Ooh! I didn't know you had an LJ! Glad to friend you!

The url for the ticket purchase for Aventura is http://www.movietickets.com/pre_purchase.asp?house_id=4981&movie_id=42577&showdate=68 - they go on sale in 14 minutes, so get ready!

I am vaguely disturbed that I am going to work tonight... at an AMC 30... and still have no clue what's really going on with the trilogy marathon.

On the other hand, I've also decided I no longer want to be working at AMC by the time the holidays roll around. Four years and 8 months of my life will be quite a large enough sacrifice, thank you very much...

(Oh, I will step up and say I can mail you some AMC passes if you would like a free movie or two... ;)

Oooh, that would be lovely!
