Team Twilight discussion

I was surprised that I couldn't find a post on this so if it already has been mentioned sorry. Just thought I would let everyone know that they are doing an early premier for New Moon for charity in Knoxville Tn. The details are not worked out but it is a for sure thing. You can go read about it on http://www.knoxville.com/news/2009/ju... or just do a google search and you will see tons of stories on it. I live an hour away so it's pretty exciting.

Thats so cool! I wish my parents would let me go!

They haven't said the prices of the tickets but they have done this before for other movies and they were like $75. I would say with it being such a big movie though they will be at LEAST $150 but that is just me guessing. That is a lot to pay to see a movie a week or so early just to get a glimpse of them in person, but hey if you have the money....

are you seriose twilight tickets were only like 25

Yeah what you can do is go to that link I posted and read about the other movies that they have done there. This is for charity so obviously they are going to be more, but this is a premier. Red carpet and all. In Hollywood your not getting in to those unless you are willing to pay a minimum of $2500. I was afraid they would be that much, but from research the most I found for one of these charity events in Knoxville was $75 and that was for Good Luck Chuck or Journey To The Center Of The Earth. I wouldn't be surprised if they aren't more than $150 though. We'll see I guess.

ohhhhhhhhh

Here is the most recent thing I found out. This was something from Taylor Lautner's site......

It appears that it could be as late as mid-September before the date of the premiere and the list of participating cast members will be released.

There probably will be some 100 to 200 tickets sold to the general public for the screening. (That number could increase if any of the sponsors return tickets to the organizers). They are expecting tens of thousands of fans to vie for these tickets, so it’s a very competitive situation. Although they have sold such tickets for previous premieres at the Pinnacle 18 box office, the demand for "New Moon" tickets has the premiere organizers searching for a more orderly means of distribution. (They want to avoid having thousands of fans camping out at the theater.) Although this is not confirmed, one possible means will be a drawing. In this scenario, fans would be able to register their names at a Knoxville Regal theater (either the Pinnacle 18 or perhaps any Regal theater in town) for about a week, perhaps in October. Regal/Variety would then draw names and sell the public tickets to those fans whose names were drawn.

More details on the distribution will be ironed out and released in August, though it will likely be some time after that announcement before they register names for a drawing and set the process in motion.

The organizers intend to keep the price of the public tickets limited to $100 or less per ticket.

Those who have been supporters of Variety over the years will have the option to buy some 400 additional tickets, and another 800 tickets will be available to sponsors. In all probability, those who have sponsored previous premieres will get first crack on sponsorship packages. For information on obtaining a sponsorship package, call Variety at 865-925-9906.

Meanwhile, we will update information as we get it on www.knoxville.com and in the Knoxville News Sentinel.
