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.
Wait- we can’t go to the one when the actors go? Unless we’re rich?
and what does the site mean – advertisers only? Bah!
That’s poo.
I went to the Prince Caspian one, and we even went down the red carpet with them! I walked down the carpet with Anna Popplewell, for goodness sake!
And a ticket was £30! Ugh.
That’s really expensive, like the previous person who posted, i went to the price caspian premiere and tickets were between £12 and £50. I know these films are bigger but £200 or £175 is very excessive!
dan will defo go to the london one, its ovo more important to him, he is english
i so wish i could go but i dont have money, ill just wait til the 21st, its only 4 more days
That’s… really very expensive. I’m definitely not about to fork out that much for tickets- however much I might want to… I always love watching the live stream of the premieres online though, they’re always such awesome-looking events. :D
Sounding like a broken record here, but $14000?? I don’t know. If it was going to a charity like World Vision, I might not mind as much, but as far as I’ve heard, the British film industry isn’t suffering nearly as much as the Australian one. Oh well.
BUT what makes my blood boil is that we Aussies get the movie on the 11th of December (nearly 3 weeks later). What’s the money they’re going to pull another stunt on us where they push the release date earlier with about, oh, six weeks to go? (Like LAST TIME?)
sigh at least Dec 11th is my birthday, so seeing the movie will be a nice present…
Aunt Petunia's masterpiece of a pudding, the mountain of cream and sugared violets, was floating up near the ceiling. On top of a cupboard in the corner crouched Dobby.[br]"No," croaked Harry. "Please... they'll kill me...."
okay, I think it’s going to be just the Imax for me.
