Looks like todays bookings are all done in person. No online option available.

La Premiere costs are $150.00 for 2 people for 1 day (3 movies.)

Chur.

I zipped into Sylvia Park yesterday, and unfortunately they had sorted their pricing out.
Price ended up being $180 for 2xOT La Premiere. Ah well.

Turns out my seats are right beside fredstar's......Hope you've got plenty of popcorn!

The View websites are running competitions to win Hoyts double passes (not sure if it's for both Trilogies) for the Star Wars Movie Marathon in:

• Auckland
• Hamilton
• Christchurch

You have to register to enter (the answer is 4 stars), but it's free. Entries close: 30 April, 2014.

Flicks.co.nz is also running a competition to win a Star Wars Marathon double pass for Hoyts Xtremescreen in Auckland (Sylvia Park) or Waikato (Te Awa). Again you have to be registered, but it's free.

Cool, thanks for those links.

Cool, I just got my tickets for Episodes 4 - 6 at The Embassy in Wellington! I can't wait!!!!!

Thanks for posting that competition info Buzz.

I have been in touch with the Embassy theatre here in wellington. The news isn't good for me so far, unfortunately. No childrens' pricing sadly - just $50 a head, and no single movie tickets either. The films don't start till 2pm, and given they will have school the next morning it will be too late for me to take my two children to, even if I could afford $150 to take them, so sadly for now I am forced to bow out. I was so excited for this but they really haven't made it easy.

My guess is that closer to May single tickets will go up for sale. The Embassy is a huge cinema and they won't fill it just selling marathon tickets. Right now they want to encourage people to buy tickets for all the films, and fair enough. I'll try them again nearer the end of April in the hopes I can buy tickets for just ANH on Sunday afternoon for me and my two kids. I'd really like to give them the big screen SW experience.

Hey Rev, the Hoyt's site states that single movie tickets will be available from the 18th.
Hopefully the Event cinemas/Embassy will be the same?

I would be surprised if they don't do something like that too. They are just trying to get as much buy in as they can on the marathon passes for now, which is completely understandable. By not announcing single passes yet it encourages people to seriously consider the marathon pases, but I doubt that's the last word on the subject. I can't see them turning away single ticket buyers as long as there are empty seats in the cinema, come May. For now, I am quietly biding my time.

I've just stumbled across this item which was posted on the RiptItUp.co.nz website back in February (and says tickets were on sale then) and it mentions a "best dressed" competition that may be of interest to some ...

Facebook doesn't work properly on my old computer, so I can't check the details, but some of you costuming nutt... err, "enthusiasts" may want to check into it to see how to be eligible to enter the competition to win a trip to the Californian Star Wars Celebration.

It's a voting system. Sigh so if you have a huge following to tap in to you have a shot otherwise.. well I'm not spending four hours painting myself for a photo
