Well zzanahk, I debated a little bit before posting this, but I didn't want a bunch of bored east side Bloomies shoppers watching an advance screening with me.

By saying that the certificates are available all day, does that mean tickets are also available? Do you have to buy something (as in, be in the first 100 people in the checkout line) in order to get the tickets? Cuz I can't afford to buy a little black whatever from Bloomies!

It sounds to me like they won't be giving them out until 6pm. I wouldn't necessarily give up if you can't get there until 5 or so.

I don't think you need to purchase anything to get the tickets, and definitely not to enter the lottery to go to the premiere.

Oh what a waste for all the locals to be there and no one to take advantage of the round trip vacation to NY for the premiere!*








*Someone enter under my name and I'll let you crash with me at the hotel and go to the premiere? Pretty please?

I just checked and you're correct, at least for some of them. So the good news for all the out-of-towners with a Bloomingdale's nearby is that you may be able to enter the lottery too.

Probably all of the above. Not that I didn't think about it either. Here's the funny thing. I found this on CB tonight, kind of buried in their thread about the window display. They're so strict about not starting new threads for every little thing.

Tomorrow is blog day. Maybe it'll go up then. I'm sure they'll get to it. They haven't exactly failed us thusfar.

Actually, maybe not. Maybe they want to get the word out to people who aren't already freaking out over it -- this may not really be for the fans as much as it's a marketing/publicity tactic. There are two types of success they're looking for with this movie: one being to make the fans happy, and the other being to get notice, and to spread awareness and love of the work. It needs attention that's not from people who already love the material. I know someone who used to get offers for tickets to advanced screenings for a lot of movies, but they were always offered up sort of randomly. Maybe this is something like that.
