Tonight we have TWO Ticket Exchange offerings, both of which have special circumstances. Please read all the details carefully before replying. I will be double checking with the winners to be certain they are aware of the caveats involved.
Tonight’s first set of tickets are for a Fundraiser event on Dec. 5th in Palm Springs, CA. This is Not a Trilogy Tuesday event. It is an early showing of “Return of the King,” with a speech beforehand by Sir Ian McKellen. Complete details may be found here: More. The winner MUST be available to meet with the seller Thursday in the Pasadena area to transfer the tickets.
Here are the details:
Tonight’s ticket exchange offering is for FOUR tickets to the KCET fundraiser advance screening in Palm Springs, CA on December 5th. The first person to e-mail maegwen@theonering.net with the following subject line will be put into contact with the ticket seller. The price is $200 ($50 each). The subject line MUST read: “Please let me win Palm Springs Tickets.”

Tonight’s second set of tickets are for the Uptown Theater in Washington, DC. This theater experienced difficulties during the ticket-sales process, and consequently tickets were sold INDIVIDUALLY to each of the three films. People wishing to attend the full event MUST possess tickets to ALL THREE MOVIES. That being said, many people mistakenly thought that they needed to buy only one ticket, and therefore some purchased tickets only to Return of the King, or to Fellowship of the Ring. Read our full story HERE for complete details. Tonight we are offering one FULL SET of tickets and one PARTIAL set, with tickets to FOTR and TTT. Please be aware that having tickets to the first two films will NOT permit you to stay for ROTK unless you have tickets for the final movie. We are hoping these tickets will be helpful to persons who may possess only ROTK tickets.
Here are the details:

Elisa Lipsky-Karasz writes: I hear that New Line Cinema is out for blood over Monday’s catastrophic Washington screening of its Christmas blockbuster “The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King.” I’m told that the first full-dress battle scene, more than a hour into the 3-hour, 17-minute epic, was run upside-down for some 30 critics at the Loews Georgetown. “At first I thought, ‘Wow, that’s a totally cool camera angle, from the perspective of someone who was felled in the battle,” one witness told me yesterday. Baltimore Sun movie critic Michael Sragow said: “It was the first massing of forces, and you got these elephant creatures coming on screen upside down. Obviously, it was about the worst way to see a movie.” Worse still, the influential audience had to wait 45 minutes while the projectionist re-threaded the film, only to restart it after a huge gap in the action. In due course, an upside-down Frodo appeared, and the screening was halted again for another 45 minutes. “Obviously we’re upset as anyone would be, and we’re in discussions with Loews,” a chagrined New Line spokeswoman told me. “We want to know if Gollum was in the projection booth.”

Kristina: I just wanted to give you guys a little report on what my sister’s and I saw on the red carpet at the DVD Awards last night. Apparantly Billy, Dominic, John Rhyes, and Andy Serkis were supposed to be there but, only Dominic, John, and Andy showed. In any case, we met all three and were able to get our Fellowship Visual Companion autographed (It was already autographed by Viggo, Peter J, Fran Walsh, Philippa, Sean Astin, and Sir Ian McKellen). They were all verious gracious and ever willing to interact with their fans. I even got a kiss from John. He was very sweet. [More]
