Tomorrow night at around 10pm EST, or when half time is, after the new trailer debuts on ESPN, advanced tickets for The Force Awakens will go on sale. Some theaters will be offering exclusive swag and other chains will be doing a marathon of all 7 films on December 17th.

Some theaters are now announcing what they'll be doing for The Force Awakens opening along with ticket details so I figured I'd try and put it all in one thread with the info thats out right now. First the announcement from StarWars.com:
Star Wars Marathon Event

The Star Wars Marathon Event is the ultimate fan experience. All seven movies. One epic journey. Guests will see each of the six previously released Star Wars episodes in digital 2D beginning with The Phantom Menace and concluding with the opening of Star Wars: The Force Awakens in 3D! Guests will also receive a lanyard featuring exclusive marathon art. Coming December 17.

I can't imagine sitting through 16 straight hours of any movies but I'm down for a collectible ticket.

I did it for Avengers 2. they played ALL the marvel movies leading up to Avengers 2 starting Wed evening, you get breaks, during movies you don't care for, go out to the car and sleep, eat whatever. It's a fun time.

I'll be doing this. buying my ticket AS SOON as it goes on sale.

No where near St. Louis. :( All of the IL theaters right across the river, and the showings is all northern IL.

Might be OK, I don't want my first experience of EP VII in 3D anyway.

Just in case anyone from Switzerland stumbles across this thread:

Kitag just announced they are starting advance ticket sales tomorrow at 10 AM. So far it looks like you can only buy the tickets, but if you have a Carte Bleue (Kitag member card) you might be able to reserve tickets too.

If you want to see when the showings are and what language they're in, you can go to the kitag.com website and click through until December. Show times are already up.

The English showings in expat heavy cities like Zürich and Bern are probably gonna go pretty fast, so just a heads up.
 
Too old for the marathon. However, my plan.

Alamo in Virginia Thursday night with my wife. Back to Alamo Friday afternoon with coworkers. Find a regular theater over the weekend in Pennsylvania with my brother. Hit up IMAX in Colorado Springs over Christmas. IMAX again at Udvar Hazy down the street sometime during the month long run.

Looks like all UK theaters will be selling tickets tomorrow morning and not just the BFI IMAX. Odeon just announced this on twitter and Facebook.

I can't *believe* these lazy developers keep making file sizes so damn large. Btw, how does technology work?
Sweet. I'm literally five minutes away from two different options.

What time do we think this will start - 6am Thur? That's 3hrs/movie x 6 movies = 18 hours. Factor in short breaks and intermissions to hit the 3hrs/ea.

Not sure but I'd imagine it would be so that it lines up with The Force Awakens' first showing at 7pm?

So would it be okay to just skip episode 1-3 and then show up for episode 4-6? Can't sit in a theater for 16 hours straight.

In my opinion, watching the Plinkett reviews of Episodes 1-3 is a far, FAR better substitute, then just show up for 4-6.

Each theater for the movie marathon is about 30-40 minutes away from me, and all I get is a lanyard. Still want to do it though.

Vied for a tag related to cocks, so here it is.
8am For UK Cinemas - this is at least according to Empires Twitter, can't say if the time is the same for others.

Would be cool if 456 came back to theaters outside of the marathon.

Don't want to pay for 123 and don't want to watch 7 in 3D
 
I've never pre-ordered tickets for anything before, usually just show up 45 minutes early to get good seats... but it looks like I'm going to have to for this movie.

Do tickets for the Walt Disney World event start at the same time as the regular ticket sales? Any idea how much those tickets will cost?
 
Depending on the price of that Marathon I might be in it for 4-6. Also I wonder if you can exit and come back. They have to allow that right? Being trapped in an AMC for 18 hours would completely kill this for me.

It isn't much but at least tickets go on sale at the same times as everywhere else for a change!
