How do you find out/get tickets for movie premieres?

DD265

There's a movie coming out this year and I'd love to go to a premiere if possible.

Any ideas how I can find out where and when these are, and book tickets?

Unfortunately Googling hasn't helped!

This any good: http://www.launchingfilms.com

Which film is it?

It has it listed but the date doesn't coincide with the US release (and I'm sure we wouldn't be a week earlier!). I'll definitely keep an eye on it though thanks.

It's the Warcraft movie

Looks like June 10th, http://www.comingsoon.net/movie/warcraft-2016

Probably best to keep an eye on the website and then the cinema for tickets.
Hope you get them x

Having your GF do an arty music video with very little-on works pretty well.

We get several invitations to premieres a month now!

If you are in the US, its often quite easy to pick-up tickets on the day at the theatres concerned - they tend to get the returned invites. I got my ex and I tickets to one in Radio city Music Hall in NY a few years back. A major film but not a major blockbuster - Cheap seats of course, and no red carpet entry but we did end-up in the same room as Christian Slater, Liza Minelli, Howard Stern, Donald Trump and a few other names - Most of whom were surprisingly approachable and affable.

Why not go and see it at the local Cineworld, even cheaper using a meerkat code hen you buy a 1 day travel insurance policy.

There are often competitions to win tickets to movie premieres. These may also include hotel stays and transport included. Nearer the release date it is worth googling the word "win" and the name of the film. Or look through the competitions thread here on MSE.

Thanks all, I'll keep an eye out as it grows nearer.

DCFC79 - We get free cinema tickets with our health insurance, but if we're very excited about a movie (e.g. Star Wars, The Hobbit) we'll go to a posh cinema with sofas. In this particular case, we're both huge fans of the game so I was hoping to get tickets for a proper premiere for OH's birthday.
