It seems clear that a number of theaters have elected to put tickets on sale earlier than their published “sale date.” A notice on Fandango.com states, “Tickets to ‘The Lord of the Rings’ trilogy marathon, are now on sale at www.fandango.com at several Fandango partner theaters (not available on 1-800-FANDANGO) and the remaining theaters will be releasing tickets through the official onsale date of October 9th, 2003.” [Fandango]. Movietickets.com is also selling tickets for various locations. We advise checking to see if your theater is among those already selling these precious tickets.
