Additional information is now online today, regarding tickets for the UK “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince” Royal and European Premiere November 17th, 2008 in London, England. As we reported previously, The Royal Film Performance 2008 is sponsored by the Cinema & Television Benevolent Fund, a charity which benefits the UK film and TV industries, with members of the Royal family due to attend the event. With the information today, this marks the first time tickets are being made available to a Harry Potter movie premiere. The charity website has now been updated regarding these various ticket prices, including a rare opportunity to purchase advertising for the commemorative booklet, which will also give you the chance to purchase tickets for four to attend the Premiere and private post party event with the Royal family, as well as members of the HBP cast and crew. Tickets for this are extremely limited, and cost £7,000 ($14,000 USD). A package involving tickets for two is set at £4800. For more on these options, click here.

Other ticket options include a red-carpet event, with screening of the sixth Harry Potter film at an “Adjoining Cinema” of the Royal event, will cost £200 ($400 USD per person), a smaller screen “Adjoining Cinema” for 175, with these tickets due on sale August 8. Two other opportunities for this event include a “Near Simultaneous Screening” which takes place an hour later for £60 ($120 USD), and a “Late Night Screening” which takes place after the Main Royal Premiere, at £25 ($50 USD) with tickets for these two events due to become available starting September 8th.

I was very tempted to go to this, but I don’t think my budget can stretch to £175. I’ll wait til it goes on general release and stage my own little premiere. ;)

I wonder if Dan will be in attendance and what these premieres mean for his performances in Equus on Broadway.

I think I’d pay to go to the Late Night Screening if there was any chance I’d be in the UK at that time.

Unfortunately, there’s an ocean to cross, and that’s a tiny bit more expensive.

I can’t see that Dan would be able to make it for the premiere in London. Though I guess in theory, he could fly home after the 3pm Sunday show, and fly back to NY Tuesday morning in time for the 7pm show that evening, though it’d be a killer trip.

Oh yea lemme just blow 14,000 bucks that I have flowing around in my vaults :P Even the adjoining cinema is mad expensive. Thanks but I think I’ll wait to pay my $9 at a midnight showing.

What??? Why??? How many Harry Potter fans do you know with £4,000??? That’s cruel. They should give people a realistic opportunity to attend. The Royal Family are going for free and they’re the only ones who can afford it! That’s exploitation. Grumbles off entertaining ideas of breaking into Gringotts

I know it doesn’t seem fair, but at least it does go to charity. I will wait and go with my poor friends and we will have a smashing time.
