To celebrate the much-anticipated release of The Lord of the Rings Trilogy on Blu-ray, a special 3-Night Theatrical Event is being planned this June. And as we teased this week, TheOneRing.net is excited to be a part of this film series event! Starting tomorrow, we will send a private ticket sale offer to our newsletter subscribers! This means you will be able to reserve your tickets a full 5 days before the general public has a shot! Since this is a single showing of each extended edition film in theaters, it is expected these events will sell out VERY fast. Oh, and did we mention there may be a special video from Peter Jackson before the screenings?? Join our newsletter today and check your email tomorrow for this exclusive offer. And of course, stay tuned in coming weeks for even more details and information about this event! [Join the Newsletter] [Blu-ray Extended LOTR]

Back when the Lord of the Rings films were arriving in theaters each December for three successive years, TheOneRing.net helped organized and supported line party lines around the world.
Things change a lot in a decade, but we want to get in touch with all the line leaders. If you served as a line leader, please get in touch with us at: TORnLineParty@Gmail.com. Put your city in the subject line to help us sort quickly and feel free to remind us inside the email of your efforts and any details you see fit. Thanks!
We’re happy to say that our Founder’s Day 2011 celebration has been a resounding success (see Founder’s Day story below)! Of the many wonderful contributions of the day, one stood out as especially representative of the camaraderie that many of us share as fans of J.R.R. Tolkien, Peter Jackson’s movies, and fantasy in general. Discussion board member One Ringer put together a wonderful retrospective of fan gatherings to mark the special day. In One Ringer’s own words:
“After twelves years of constant coverage of everything Tolkien, TheOneRing.net stands as the top site for a social gathering for fans of the late Professor and his work. In honor of Founders Day comes the One Slideshow to (hopefully) show many of the great memories that the members of TORn have had in the past years. Click on the link below and watch at your desired video quality. I hope you enjoy.” — One Ringer
