    OK, I'm sure this has been answered but frankly, it's 3am and I'm too lazy to look it up. So if someone could be so kind as to tell me, how will we all be meeting up for this glorious event? If that's indeed how this will be happening. 'Cause I mean, I'm not sure if my friends and I will be able to do the pre-pax dinner, since there may not be enough room, and (at least) I would like to meet some fellow PAX peeps during Pre-Pax stuffs :D. Also, it would increase my chances of getting tickets to at least one of the two great hotel parties.

    you'll walk into the lobby of the theater and see a VERY large group of people. You'll hear the words wang, lol(el-oh-el), and asshat coming from the group. Its hard to miss.

    Failing that, look for PA or other game related shirts. Also, as soon as we have definite showtimes from the theater, we'll post that information here as well, so if you're late or just missed us, you'll still end up at the right showing.

    Also, I plan on asking the ticket person at the theater to send any PAX goer to the correct theater. If you forget where you are supposed to go, just tell the ticket person you are with the "PAX group".

    Speaking of which, I would highly recommend buying your tickets online in advance. That way you will have your ticket with you and you can't forget where you are going. Once the 14th of August happens I will provide the link to purchase a ticket online.

    Okay for people who don't already know, that is not an actual quote. Personally, I don't know if the Pacific Place has online ticket ordering or not, or what the website to do so would be. If somebody does know, any information would be appreciated.

    ur quote looks a little wrong.

    edit: this is not for the invasion, its only an example of yes you can purchase tickets in advance online for the pacific 11 theatre.

    Since this theatre is owned by AMC theatres I found the info thru here: http://www.amctheatres.com/

    I did hit the quote button, then I decided that I only wanted to quote part of it, and attempted to snip out the extraneous quote.

    I ended up cutting the name of the correct poster.

    Movie theaters don't do group rates. Somebody checked on this one a while back, I think the theater people just laughed.

    I know this has already been decided, but here is a true "gamer" movie

    I think the only place it is playing though is near the University of Washington. Not within walking distance of hotels.

    Here are all the times for The Invasion on August 23rd:

    Screen 1:

    The Invasion
    Rated (PG-13) • 1 hr. 33 min.
    BUY TICKETS - 12:05pm, 2:20pm, 4:40pm, 7:10pm, 9:30pm

    Screen 2:

    The Invasion
    CC/DVS-Closed Captions & Descriptive Video Service
    Rated (PG-13) • 1 hr. 33 min.
    BUY TICKETS - 5:40pm, 8:10pm, 10:30pm

    I recommend the 2:20PM showing. It may be difficult for me to get there in time (my plane is supposed to land at 1:26PM), but I am scheduled for the 5PM dinner wave.

    You can buy your tickets using this link but please don't buy the tickets before we collectively decide on what showing we are going to.

    I am not going to ask them for a 3PM showing. By my guess, the 2:20PM movie will begin at like 2:45PM anyway.

    Um, the CCST and CST don't get in until almost 3pm, then we have to check into our hotels, so I'm going to have to suggest the 4:40pm showing.

    edit: and by suggest, I mean that's what time it's happening

    I endorse 4:40 as well.

    1) To agree with Moe.
    2) In order to have enough time to get a solid buzz going.

    Would it be ok if we had a small group that went to the 2:20PM showing? jay427, myself and others need to be at PF Changs at 5PM.

    I don't want to make things less awesome by dividing this event into two groups, but I would really like to see the movie then go to dinner at the time I signed up for.

    (Not the downtown Seattle movie theatre we are going to, but still...)

    Make sure to smile for the camera while in the movie theatre's bathroom.

    EDIT:

    It is about 2,000 feet away from Pacific Place and our theatre.

    Okay If this is posted somewhere in this thread I am sorry. But it's 8 pages long, can you blame me?

    a.) is there a headcount?
    b.) how many people can a single theatre hold?
    c.) Does anyone know what exact time (to the second) that the movie is at? (answered... only posts above.)

    No headcount, the theater is likely to hold more than the people who are going, the movie starts at 4:40pm

    Any stragglers wanna catch a later showing?

    I'mma be on the West Coast Train, and I don't think it gets in until like 9PM, and that's assuming it runs on-time.

    I'm totally down to check it out once I arrive, though.

    So does that mean you would want to go to the 10:30PM show? There is a 9:30PM as well...

    jay427: Do you still want to go to the 2:20PM showing or this later showing.
