Rob here... God, I had no trouble getting tickets at all. Here's my story (and I'm sticking to it)
I live in Kansas City and Like all of you I've heard on the news about people waiting in line for days and weeks for "Phantom Menace" tickets so I figured way back that I'd just give the theatre over to the geeks for the first few weeks and not worry about it. But I was at the theatre today, May 15, to see "Black Mask" (Don't bother it sucked) I overheard the girl at the guest services counter talking about what kind of crowd they'd have when "Phantom Menace" opens so I thought, "What the hell, I'll ask." So I asked her if they were still selling advance tickets. She said, "Sure, what day do you want."
I said, "Well, I know opening day is sold out but how about early the next week?"
She said, "Opening day's not sold out yet. I've got plenty of seats for the daytime shows. Only the night shows are sold out."
So I bought four tickets for the 4:30 show at $3.50 each.
My brother couldn't believe I didn't have to wait in line at all for tickets and my niece almost had a heart attack when I told her we were gonna see it on opening day.
If it's a good movie, and I'm sure it will be, I'm gonna go see it a dozen times over the course of the summer.
So if you live in Kansas City, don't buy the hype that there's no way to see it on opening day. At least here we've got plenty of seats.
