AMC bungled their blogger outreach and the theater sold out of tickets without them having set aside any for the folks they recruited to cover the event. I’m trying to get us into the AMC Rio (Gaithersburg) at this point… we shall see!

UPDATE: We’re on for the AMC Rio. Maryland peeps, please feel free to join me. But get your tickets quick, they’re obviously selling out.

Three theaters in Houston. Also, AMC’s page says that tickets are $25 for MovieWatcher members but to take advantage, you have to buy them at the box office.

Not available here in rural, no-wheres-ville Texas. Instead local AMC is having a President’s Day Jim Varney marathon of all the Earnest movies;

FYI The PR rep did say they expect to sell out in many location. So if you want in, you should probably reserve your seats online. The main Showcase page lets you put in your zip to find local theaters hosting the films and links to the purchase option.

They did say I could give away an addtional ticket to ZNF readers. However, it wouldn’t really go over well in my household if I didn’t bring Melissa. So she gets the seat. Sorry!
