lol. Personally I'd recommend anywhere in C-D-E in the Red section or the back of the yellow section (C-D-E as well). Since it's not in the Grand Canal Theatre and it'll be sloped seating (and no overhang) it's easier viewing. Having it anywhere half-to-three-quarters towards the back and somewhere in the middle three blocks would be perfect! I'm sure u'll be able to get seats there no problem. It'll likely be the same price wherever you sit (well, unless they're at the very back) so might as well get the seats you want!

Absolutely can't wait for this. It's such a classy affair. Events like this stand as a beacon of how films can be a work of art, and even one component of it can be viewed as a masterpiece.

It looks like you would have to spend the best part of €70 for a good seat. Seems to be a ripoff. The €39 seats will probably be too far away from the screen. I think this event is better suited to a smaller venue.

Are there €39 tickets available? seems to be only starting at 59.50...very expensive for the cheapest seats...was at the one last year and it was brilliant and would love to go again but might have to skip it cos of price unfortunately....

Thats the price my mate quoted me. I believe last years venue was probably better suited but they are obviously trying to get more in. Maybe it would have been better for the audience if there was three or four viewings at a smaller venue. I love the point but for watching a movie, up on the gallery?? Don't think so.

Was looking at booking but the prices are so expensive that I can't really justify paying €69.50 + €6.10 booking fee or €59.50 + €6.10 booking fee to go to this. There aren't any cheaper seats. To me it is a rip off!

Is it true that there is no service charge if you go to the TM stand?
I'm goin to the one in Jervis this evening (or tomorrow) to get tickets to avoid the service charge.

There would be no booking fee if you go in person to the O2 and book at their box office.
If you go to a Ticketmaster outlet you will be charged a fee.

I don't know about buying tickets not from 02/ticketmaster so I'd say just go to the ticketmaster stand and pay a few quid to get the tix now. For me 2 tickets were €139 + €4.30 handling.

I didn't see any €39 tix available when i bought mine when they went on sale

I seem to recall them being slightly cheaper last year and with a smaller venue, the premium this time around would appear to be for the privilege of it being in the O2.

I hope they improve the quality of the video projection as that was my one gripe from the first one. I'm not sure what the issue was, maybe they were using a blu-ray disc (not cinema quality) or a poor projector.

Other than that it was very impressive..

Unfortunately I can't go as I will be at Dead Can Dance in BGET (i.e. where Fellowship was on last year!)
