The OneLastParty is almost upon us, and today we’re very excited and pleased to unveil the delectable items that will be featured at the buffet dinner and bar areas. First, some answers to some of the questions we’ve been getting:
Food fun facts:
– The doors open at 5:30 and the buffet line opens shortly afterwards at 5:45 p.m.
– Dinner service will run until 8:00 p.m. with the show starting around 8:30 p.m.
– Special Dietary needs: the party planners went to great lengths to ensure we could accommodate a number of dietary preferences which are indicated in the notes to the menu. However, if you have a very severe food allergy, you might want to bring something to supplement the buffet offerings. As we’re serving over 500 people, we can’t guarantee that there is absolutely none of a particular ingredient in the food
Bar fun facts:
– Bar areas will feature both alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks (see pricing below)
– Everyone with tickets that include meals will get two drink tickets at check-in that can be used for two free drinks
– Our friends at Middle-earth Wine are supporting the event, so we will have special Middle-earth wine available at the party! (NB there was a mistake in our post earlier; this wine is available for your drink tickets or to purchase. Unfortunately it will not be free all evening!)
– After your drink tickets have been used, the bars will take cash or credit cards. Credit card purchases have a $20 minimum (if desired, this can be met by opening a tab)

Only 15 days away from The One Last Party! TheOneRing.net staff are working overtime to make our last Oscar event a night to remember. Today we are happy to unveil our party subsite, and apologies for not having it up sooner. On the subsite, you will find information on party times, parking, raffles, costuming, etc. We will be updating this area on a regular basis, so please look to this space and your email for further details as they become available. (For example, we just learned we’re going to be auctioning off a Sideshow/Weta Sauron Artist Proof statue!!) And don’t forget, you may still be able to snag a ticket to the performance part of the evening! Details on the Party Specifics page.

We are hard at work planning for The One Last Party – and the good news is, having looked carefully at numbers, we can fit in FIFTY more people for the ‘Entish Entertainment’ ticket! That’s the ‘show only’ ticket – here are the details:
For those on a budget: join us later in the evening! This ticket does NOT include dinner, free drinks or goody bag. It DOES get you into the event, to party with your fellow fans and enjoy the performance. Dress code is formal or costumes. Drinks and raffle tickets will be available to buy; NO food will be available. Entish Entertainment party goers will be admitted to the party approx 2 hrs into the evening; we’ll confirm details nearer the time.
These tickets are $100, and only 50 will be available! Click ‘BUY NOW’ if you’d like to grab a ticket before they’re gone! Last chance to join us at the party! NB as the Indiegogo campaign is closed you cannot buy these tickets there – they are ONLY available by clicking here:
We also want to announce the lucky winner of the SIGNED POSTER giveaway that we ran during the last week of the campaign. Congratulations to Jasmin, who was picked at random from all the pledges received that week. The poster is on the way to you!
Also huge thanks to supporters David and Judy, who donated this amazing collectible. They say:
‘Besides being big TORn supporters, we also want to donate the poster to bring awareness to Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB) — The Worst Disease You’ve Never Heard Of.™
EB truly is one of the most heartbreaking diseases we have learned about in the past few years. You can find out more about it at
http://blog.ebinfoworld.com/
Children with EB are sometimes called “Butterfly Children” because their skin is a delicate as a butterfly’s wing. Just the slightest touch can cause painful blisters and the skin to separate, like 2nd and 3rd degree burns. We just love the scene from Desolation of Smaug, where Bilbo is above the trees surrounded by butterflies. It makes us think of all those who have passed on and are free from EB.’
We’re glad to help raise awareness; thanks again to our poster donors!
And of course, we owe HUGE thanks to ALL who supported the campaign. Tolkien fans never cease to amaze us! We’re thrilled that we can hold this special celebration, and have you all be a part of it – in person or via the live stream. Which leads us to another announcement – as our campaign was so successful, we will not need to charge for the live stream. So LIVE STREAM will be FREE and available to all!
Stay tuned for more party details; and we’ll see you there – in Los Angeles or on the internet!
As we posted on our Facebook page last night, today (Friday, January 16) will be the FINAL DAY to pledge for ‘full’ tickets for our One Last Party event.
Tickets for the Perk Pledge levels Expected Party Goer and Rivendell Reveller will only be available until MIDNIGHT PST tonight! Continue reading “An important campaign reminder from The One Last Party!”
