How do you buy tickets?

I'm not sure I'm going to be able to go, although it's going to kill me not to. I just got approved for two Saturdays off in December for a long vacation - I don't think Boss would want to give me another one off. Argh.

(They're playing the Extended Editions, right? So if it starts at 11:15, it'll end around 2:45pm or so? I really only want to see FotR again.)

Thank you for posting this wonderful news! I found a theater 45 minutes from me that is playing it and they still have tickets available ... I'm sending out an email tonight to my Ringer pals and see who I can gather to go with me.

I'm going to the Chicago area and going with Lizmybit (for those of you who remember her). Should be fun!

My local AMC is hosting the marathon beginning at 10 am. I am planning to see the first two films.

I remember Liz.

True, what part of Chicago will you be in? If not for a last-minute cancellation of travel plans, I would have been in the downtown area for The Hobbit opening day.

We are going to the theater in Crystal Lake. I live about three and a half hours from there, though.

I never made it; no one to go with and I wasn't about to go alone.

Did anyone make it? See all three movies?
