Tix on Fandango

2 hours 35 mins ... that makes me happy to hear.

 

Doesn't that running time usually include previews and credits though? Even so, it should be probably just a bit shorter than AOTC from what GL has stated before.

 

The running time doesn't include the previews at my theater. I always add on another 15 minutes to the running time to compensate for trailers, that way I can figure out when I'll be getting out of the theater.
So, if it is 2 hours 35 minutes, that's about 5 minutes of credits and 2 and a half hours of movie!!!

 

Darth_Sacrilious,

Contact the theater that you bought the tickets for and ask them if you can pick up your tickets early. You SHOULD be able to, I don't see why you wouldn't. If you have some sort of receipt, take it with you as well. Also take whatever you used to pay for the tickets with you to pick them up. If you were able to print out your tickets, call the theater and ask them about them if your concerned. I can't remember if Fandango does the print-out ticket thing. You shouldn't have a problem (I hope).

 

Saw this on theForce.net about tickets:

http://www.theforce.net/latestnews/story/EP3_Midnight_Screenings_Warning_91456.asp

Just thought I'd let people know if they haven't read it already. It's probably just a few instances, but it never hurts to check and verify.

 

I checked that in advance. My ticket actually says Wednesday May 18th (late show). So is it really going to be 2 hours 30 minutes? That would be the longest yet.

 

I got my tickets! Have no fear, the theaters do truly accept your tickets, they won't turn you away. My sister used Fandango when I went with her and my brother-in-law to see Harry Potter (Azkaban) and it was so easy. If I go out tomorrow, I might just go ahead and head downtown to get mine, that way I know they are there in my hands. I know you guys understand my urgency to get them. No one around here understands this. I feel like a little kid wanting to run around in circles. I haven't felt like that often lately.

For those that have been bashing the Prequels, well, I have a good thing about them--they revolutionized how we purchase tickets now. Lovely thing the internet is, though my local cinemas now have Fandango; they didn't when AOTC came out. I do truly hope that Trimuph the Insult Comic Dog does another segment for this last movie.

I think we should make a separate thread for the running time. I've been curious about it too because McCallum was so forward in saying AOTC's running time but not so much with this one. 2 hours, 35 minutes, count me in!

 

origjedi,
Thanks.
So the tickets are supposed to say Wednesday the 18th, right?

 

I bet some of them will say Thursday. I would look for Wednesday tix and if you can't find them make sure the midnight showings are for the correct day. Better to spend some time verifying it than get there and be told to spend a day waiting...

 

(1) Windy - I was pretty surprised too.

(2) beedubew and I must be attending the same theater, it seems like he and I were the last people on the face of the Earth to buy tix.



Rick McCallum loves you!

 

Mine is the 18th at 11:59

 

any news on which theaters have Digital projectors? I want to reserve my ticket for those theaters that have digital capability.

 

Dear friends,

A few days ago, I posted on this thread to say how frustrated I was with my theatre for dropping ticket sales out of nowhere on a Friday nite and without announcement. I didn't get tickets for the midnite show. Well, my blind love of Star Wars has karmacally (sp) paid off. Due to a connection with the show I'm on (see my signature- and please watch if you haven't!)I'm going to be in attendance at the May 6th screening at Skywalker Ranch for MTV's TRL. I ain't making this up and no, I don't know how I'm going to sleep for the next few days. Not here to gloat, but I will post a spoiler-free review once I've seen it if anyone's interested.

 

Congrats! Seeing it at the Ranch will be something to remember!
Spy some info on the TV show while you're there!

 

Thanks Xin-te, I'll try! I'm betting Kevin Smith has something to do with it since he dropped that coy remark about it. Don't read his review, though. Go to the Spoiler-free Kevin Smith thread.
