Advance movie screening advice - Metreon - World's End
July 21, 2013 8:23 PM   Subscribe

I won a spot at the advance screening of the Worlds End at the Metreon tomorrow. I have never done one of these before. Apparently I have to line up to get a wristband at a table by 2 (need to line up early) but there is no other info. How early should I go? There was already a comic con screening. Did anyone go to that or know if they'll confiscate phones or search bags? Any other info on having attended advance screenings at the Metreon?

Best answer: I was on the Worlds End pub crawl promotion at Comic Con and got a pair of guaranteed tickets to the screening that ended up not using because it was important to me to see it for the first time with my wife.

That said, many of the other folks asked the same questions and the replies they got were basically "The movie is already out oversees. We want you to help build buzz for the US release. Don't be a jerk and have fun." And then some intern brought us more shots and I don't know

Best answer: I attended an advance screening of The World's End in America. They said they'd confiscate people's phones if they were out during the movie or if somebody asked if there would be a 3rd season of Spaced. They seemed very serious about the first rule.

If the seats aren't pre-booked, line up early to get good seats.

Er, that screening was in Australia, not America.

On the off-chance that you're not yet on your way and you see this, I encourage you to get here soon! The line is already getting long.
