'Revenge' tickets, courtesy of Nissan. Now in the Bay area

[cdub]

Nope they didn't come in the mail. Guess I'll try ordering online.

Even though it IS a Volt...

Maybe I can make one of the Sunday showings at which Chris Paine will be present. I see from LA Times review that Chris Paine uses the same charging location.

 

[SharonaLA]

Just got my tickets in the mail today.

The original post sounds like the free tickets are just for the LA opening? Or does this go beyond just CA?

I see that it opens next week here in Nashville.

But $40/person for the opening night... I'm sorry but at 26, I can find a much better way to spend $80 on a date. Neither of us are THAT eager to meet Chris Paine. I'll wait for one of the later/CHEAPER showings! I think we can enjoy the movie without meeting the director. :mrgreen:

Nissan ended up getting us free tickets to the opening night. Got to meet Chris Paine and they had a very nice open-bar after party. Fun times.

The Portland Premiere of Revenge of the Electric Car is November 4th. Our local EV community is pulling out all the stops to support the premiere.

1) We have sponsored free parking for EVs at the theater.
2) We have a procession of EVs that will be driving in front of the theater.
3) We have blocked off one of the streets next to the theater and will have an EV display there.

Additionally, Chris Paine will be here and he will hold a Q&A session after the 7PM screening.

You can read more of the details here: http://goo.gl/FJRCx" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Anything you can do promote the film and specifically the Portland event is much appreciated.

The CCSE is giving out 50 free tickets for the San Diego premier on Nov 11 @ 6pm.

No comp tickets for the Aquarius Theatre in Palo Alto? I think I would rather pay for tickets at the Aquarius than pay for parking or Bart for the Embarcadero. Besides I might even be able to get a charge in Palo Alto and Chris Paine and Greg "Gadget" Abbott is supposed to be there Saturday evening. Oh and I saw 'Who Killed the Electric Car' at the Aquarius so I think it is fitting to see 'Revenge' there too.

I called Nissan CS and confirmed that the comp tickets are only for the Bay area showings in Berkeley, SFO and Santa Rosa. The Nissan rep told me that the Palo Alto show was effectively sold out and over capacity, so they weren't offering comp tickets to it. I went online http://www.landmarktheatres.com/Films/films_frameset.asp?id=108210" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; and booked a ticket for the Aquarius Theatre (Palo Alto, CA showing Saturday, November 5 at the 5:15pm where Filmmaker Chris Paine and film subject Greg "Gadget" Abbott will appear In Person. So there are some tickets left, bit I have no idea how many.

I called Nissan CS and only tickets for San Francisco Landmark Embarcadero are available. Went to the Landmark Embarcadero site and noticed at least a few good tidbits.

First, "Free four-hour validated parking is available after 5 PM Monday-Friday and after 10 AM Saturday & Sunday at any Embarcadero Center Parking Garage. With validation, reduced rates apply at all other times." (http://www.landmarktheatres.com/market/SanFrancisco/EmbarcaderoCenterCinema.htm)

Second, "One Week Only! Starts Friday, November 4 at the Embarcadero Center Cinema Filmmaker Chris Paine with Tesla VP Ricardo Reyes & Film Subject Greg Abbott In Person Fri, Nov 4 at 7:30pm! Chris Paine at All Shows Sun, Nov 6!" (http://www.landmarktheatres.com/Market/SanFrancisco/SanFrancisco_Frameset.htm)

Not so sure if I can make it to the Friday showing, so if I don't make it, I'll likely go on Sunday.

 

[Phoenix]

Really? I just got tickets for Berkeley but that might have been around 3-4PM. Thanks mwalsh for this heads up!

Go on Sunday if you can, there will be an afterparty at Le Meridien:

I wonder if they validate for comp tickets.

 

[waitingforaleaf]

I called the box office and the person I spoke with claimed that they do, but again after the issues with customer service I've had in the past couple days I'm not fully convinced by the statements of a single person.

In any case, even if they don't validate for tickets directly, you'd just need a $10 minimum purchase from select stores at Embarcadero center for the validation (http://www.embarcaderocenter.com/ec/about/directions.html#parking)
