Who has their tickets? 8)

I bought mine online yesterday morning for the midnight (12:01am) show. My Darth Vader costume is nearing completion -- the last stumbling block to overcome is the scratch-built electronics system. Still need to talk to the theater manager to see if they want to make an event out of it, though.

So what about the rest of you?

None of the theaters in Kansas in general, and Wichita in particular, have sold tickets, damnit. I'll have to wait with everyone else, unfortunately.

I'm personally hoping at least one theater in town will have a special triple-feature showing all three prequels at once, although I secretly wished they would show all six, assuming they could find enough viewers masochistic enough to sit through 12+ hours (not counting intermissions).

EDIT: Photos of the finished Vader costume, please. :D

I'll do my best. I would've been posting progress pics all along if I had a digital camera :( Currently trying to convince my parents to buy this for me as my birthday present, but I'm also trying to convince them to give it to me early (my birthday's in late July) so I can use it for the DV costume ;)

I don't know when or if the Showcase Cinemas here will presell tickets, but I'll have to keep my eyes open.

I've purchased tickets to the 3:45 showing last night on Fandango. So, it will require that I haul ass from school to the theatre. I most likely will have to take a cab to the theatre.

And I must admit that this particular theatre is of poor quality. The walls are parallell to each other, it has no perforated screens, no surround sound, virtually no digital capability (save for actually being able to play the "film"), etc. I'm just going there simply because it's close and I'll have to go to the Disney's AMC Pleasure Island complex on a later date (when the fanboys are gone).

Low-tech environment notwithstanding, I was able to enjoy a great many films at that theatre before, so I expect to be able to enjoy ROTS as well.

It is a shame, though, since I've seen AOTC and TPM at Boston's best cinemas.

I'm not going to the opening night, so no, I haven't got my tickets yet. I'll wait until I'm able to actually enjoy the movie, as the last two times I went on the ON (to see TPM and AOTC) there was a disturbingly high proportion of obnoxious kids in the theater, making loud comments and munching on snacks in a way that made more noise than I thought was physically possible.

Nevertheless, I intend to reserve my tickets about a week or two after the opening night.

I just checked Ziegfeld and they don't have tickets for the midnight showing anymore. :cry: Of course, it is late in the game...

I'll probably take the 6:00 showing.
I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season."
