AMC Theatres, the second-largest chain in the country with over 5,000 locations, said the film had broken its single-day advance ticket sales record more than 10 times over. It didn't release specific figures, but said it sold out more than 1,000 shows nationwide within 12 hours.

Movietickets.com said traffic was three times higher than at any point in its 15 year history. Advance tickets for Star Wars: The Force Awakens were already selling four times greater than for Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith over the same time span.

IMAX reported specific numbers, with the large-screen exhibitor saying it had sold a staggering $6.5 million in tickets since yesterday across only 390 screens in North America.

Several major theater chains and ticket sellers (Fandango included) crashed Monday night after tickets were made available

Im going in the evening on the 17th - no midnight showing for me. I definitely wont be on here or FB on the 17th until after the credits roll.

 

[knopie]

Wednesday the 16th I will be in the theater at 10:00.
I was lucky to be the 40est person to book, so seats in the middle of the cinema

So, now that we all have tickets, when are you guys going to switch the Internet off. I will stay on the forum till the beginning of December and see how it goes but I might have to switch Facebook off in about two weeks time. Either that or put all the Star Wars groups on silent as there will be some inconsiderate douche who tries to reveal a big spoiler. I see it almost happening already and details of the film are still scarce.

My experience on Monday.

I was told I was one hour away from going into the operating theatre when I noticed tickets were on sale. I spent most of that time in a flap trying to get on the Odeon site. After 40 minutes I thought to use their app and that worked. Stressful.

I'm going to a 2d midnight show.

I'll turn the internet off as it's released in LA. I'll then hide in a church hoping that Brian Glover doesn't find me.

Oh, and the operation was cancelled until tomorrow. Some blarney about the previous operation overrunning but the surgeon had the guilty look of a man who had been trying to get on the Odeon site all day.

Just joined the 'has tickets' club!

Opening day 5:40pm - we'll pick the girls up from school have a little early dinner in town and then...

Looking forward to that BWAM and the words Star Wars filling the screen! My daughters weren't born for the SE or the prequels so this will be their first Star Wars cinematic experience.

 

[SOJ]

So far I've booked

17th Dec Midnight in the IMAX in Uxbridge, 20:30 on the same day and then 12:30 on Saturday to take my son.

Haven't got my son news years weekend and my missus is working so thinking of making a trip to the BFI IMAX in Waterloo in the morning while everyone else is nursing hangovers.

I think that's good advice for anyone who doesn't want the film ruining 8) Can't stand Facebook anyway ...still go on it for some reason :roll:

[theforceuk]

Hit it, you know it makes sense.

 

[sith-smith]

Booked mine!

12.20am on the 17th!

 

[iDrew]

1:45pm on the 17th for me. In the same cinema my mum took me to watch Jedi when I was 4.

 

[sith-smith]

I wanted it to be in the same cinema I saw Star Wars in the 70's and TPM in in the 90's. Sadly that cinema is no longer working so had to settle for the same town, different cinema!

 

[jedi_masters]

Got mine. Friday 18th @ 7.30 Hatfield Odeon.

Good ol Cineworld in Bexleyheath. NEVER booked out for any film on the Thursday. I remember going to see The Clone Wars on the Thursday afternoon it was released. There was about 20 people in there.

Got my tickets for 1550, with about 70% of the seats still to sell. 2 seats right at the rear and centre so no pain in the arses in front of us. £8.20 per ticket. I work nights, self employed, but I ain't losing a night off work just to see it a few hours earlier. When I wake up I won't be turning on the internet or the TV. Don't want anyone's opinion influencing me. My only panic is picking up people from those midnight showings (I'm a London Cabby) and them yaking about it. Basically I won't be going near any cinemas looking for work lol.

My thoughts are it's going to be stunning visuals, a decent story, and "thank god it was better than the prequels", as I'm already seeing elements in the trailers that look a little weak.
