There are still tickets available - not the highest priced ones that include a reception, but the $75 and $50 ones. And there are also rush or lotto seats, I believe.

Damn, wish I had bought a ticket, I already have tickets to see it at 7:30 and at midnight at other places.

Ok, I'll try the lotto at 5. If I get in, I'll skip the 7:30 showing. If I lose, then I'll still see the movie.

Emcee, you're going? Yay!

Posted: 11/6/05 at 12:30am

the only point in going would be the reception, so the cheaper tickets arent going to do it for me, and i have school that day so getting there in time for the lotto is not feasible, they should create $150 tix out of the remaining $75 and include the party, then i would be so there

That was the tipping point, orange. I mean, subconsciously, I knew I was going off the bat. But how can I not go? This movie's only being released once.

zz -- the reception and the Q&A aren't the same thing. ALL tickets include the Q&A.

sorry, i assumed the reception would be a chance to mingle with the cast doing to q&a

Right, the Q&A is for everyone. The reception afterward is for the $150 ticket holders.

The tickets to the reception were available to you as well, but they sold out. If you wanted to attend the reception, you should have acted faster in getting your tickets.

When this first came up, the only ones that were for certain were Anthony, Wilson and Tracie. People have schedules, which is why Idina and Taye probably will NOT be there. He probably could still back out, in the same sense. Everybody's got bad luck. I mean, you can still SEE him if you want to go anyway. It's not like the entire thing is sold out. Hell, you could probably still meet him.

Does anyone know if this is general admission... by section, or something?

What do you mean by general admission?

Mine is a specific seat number.

That there aren't seats assigned on your ticket. Like, when you see a movie, you just sit wherever you want.

ETA -- got it. That's what I needed to know.
