Get an official Advance Screening Pass for HAIRSPRAY — Page 4

I have no trouble waiting, but I'd hate to wait 2 hours and then not get in.

It happens- I was at a screening once where we waited slightly over two hours and ended up not getting in- but it was possibly the most poorly run screening I have *ever* attended, and I think in the hands of anyone else they would have known their capacity, been able to stop 'theatre jumpers,' and been able to cut us loose much earlier.

It really depends on the auditorium the screening is in. I once attended a Harry Potter screening and was about halfway down the line. When we got into the auditorium, I was surprised we even were let in, because there is no way that the theater was that big. Turned out about half the people in front of us decided to get concessions before getting a seat, a bog no-no when you are attending screenings, because they do the counting as you are seated.

I'm going as well in NYC, if you get there by 6, you should be fine.

Well I'm going but some of you have some horror stories like waiting 2 hours and not getting in? Yikes.

Well, I saw a screening of Dreamgirls and had no problem getting in. However, this movie does seem to be getting better reviews and thus might be more popular with the masses. I shall see.

Thanks for providing the link to the passes. Though, I didn't find out about them from this board, I found out about them by doing a search which lead me to a blogger who linked the passes to the hairspray website from their blog. However, that person did get the original information for this board, so Thanks!!!!

hahaha @ dottie. i wish i could be reading the deathly hollows! too bad we have to wait till saturday for that one...

i get off in about 15 min. then i'm headed over... i should be ok. its pretty darn early!

I saw it and it was EXCELLENT. WOW!

Loved it! It really should be nominated for Best Picture at the Oscars and it should IMO, win the GG for Best Musical. Wonderful.

Amen. If the purpose of offering these screening passes was to create word of mouth, I guess that's what it got.

So tell me how I went to the AMC in Lincoln Square at like 4:00 and go there stood in line for a ****ing 3 hours. i was near the front of the ****ing line too... like maybe the 20th-30th person on the line. and find out those idiots said that you need a yellow ticket and plus people who waited like me for hours ahead started going in front of the line. wtf? i am seriously pissed that it was only a promotion with a yellow ticket and the movie workers there said they didn't know about a seperate screening. WTF. I stood there for 3 hours and my butt hurts from sitting in the ground and no tickets. So pissed offf..... Sorry but I think those idiots just lost money from the box office.

i am planning to go to the today show when the cast of hairspray goes there. seriously, someone needs to stand up and say something about this because its not fair to us that we went there and stood in line for hours and no screening.
