    Welcome to the club @RC7 . It's sure going to be a night to remember...

    Unless you've got plans (I'm sure you have) we should enjoy a martini together at some point.

    I would love to hit London by storm and meet Dan if by some miracle that would happen. It's times like this that I hate being a Yank... :(( The only way for me to get to London while in college is to study abroad (I have thought of doing it), but I don't think they will open up that opportunity in time for the big premiere. Best case scenario they allow it before school is out and I can't still see some Bond related exhibitions and go to the Sherlock museum, but as of now it is just a dream.

    I had no idea, but apparently, it's possible that I passed Dan and Rachel on the street this weekend when I was in New York City. Shame...

    A handful of tickets to the premiere of Skyfall, the new James Bond movie, will go on sale at 9am on Wednesday, 26 September. The premiere takes place at the Royal Albert Hall on 23 October, and tickets will set you back between £50 and £75 (getting Moneypenny to wire you the money probably won’t work).

    Alongside watching the film before anybody else, you’ll also get to eye up a bevy of royalty both literal and celluloid at the premiere, including Daniel Craig, Javier Bardem, Judi Dench and Prince Charles.

    Buy the tickets from the Royal Albert Hall’s website, or call 020 7589 8212.

    Yes I gave the link to this news a lot earlier here http://www.mi6community.com/index.php?p=/discussion/3635/skyfall-premier-tickets...can-anyone-help#Item_26 so "it's fine to join in"

    I'm flying over to London for a couple of days for this premier but don't know whether I should buy tickets to go in or brave the weather and queue outside to see the stars? Any advice from anyone who's been to Bond premier's before?

    Go brave the weather. I have done it and it was great. You can watch the film many times over but this is only once. Be there early and enjoy the atmosphere among equally crazy people-.

    I'm kind of thinking the same thing. Plus I might even get tickets to the press screening in Dublin so I will still get to see it before general release. Off tomorrow to buy some rain gear!

    Agreed....for once haha!

    I actually really like the devil's double.

    I think it's safe to assume he/she is the only cross-dresser to ever direct a Bond film!

    Working on 23rd. Off after that for 8 days. Tix booked for midnight showing on 26th at Odeon Leic Sq. Bring it on...then have to make another trip to see in IMAX. And round it off with another viewing at my local cinema. Probably squeeze in another watch somewhere. Well it is 007 after all. Bond on Bond just arrived. Bond on Set ordered. And soundtrack to come. Am I mad??

    That's what I want to go for. Right now I'm in the process of planning a trip to London for the premiere. Hopefully I'll make it. Fingers crossed!

    @Germanlady, when you say "early"... How early is that? And what time do these things usually start?

    An acerbic bit of Partridge is always nicely welcome DCisared. Wasted on most round here though I fear.

    Can't believe it!! Got 2 tickets. Anyone know what time I should be there if I want to be near the front of the crowds?

    BTW, the 'last minute' usually means you have to be seated an hour before royal arrival.

    Not to worry, I'll soak in the atmosphere. Daniel arrived long before the Royals at the QoS premiere so we'll see how it pans out.

    I couldn't get a single one. They were all sold out. I'm so devastated right now.

    Usually doors open at 1830 and Stars arrive from then until about 1930. Everyone has to be in and seated when the Royal party arrives.
    One negative thing about the RAH, from what I remember from DAD is that unlike Leicester Square where they drop the stars off to walk around the square, meet the press and the fans before going in, they close the road outside off and you cannot get along the barriers without a press pass. Stars get dropped off through the barriers for interviews.
    May have changed in 10 years though.

    had no chance but not surprised- should have queued up my computer before I went to bed!
    what tickets did you get @robboadam @Sagart, £50 or 70? which block did you end up in?

    I got the £50 ones. Block Q5 (even though I can't spot a 5 on the plan). I firstly put 'Best Available' but an alert came up saying that they didnt have any. Luckily I was early enough (8.59am) to go back and try again, this time selecting the 'Limited Viewing' tickets. But looking at the plan they're still pretty amazing tickets!

    Got 2 restricted view tickets (not together). Not a sniff of the £75 ones which presumably were in the same block just not restricted.

    I'm torn between going for the experience or selling them as I dont want the film ruined the first time I see it by having a barrier blocking the screen and judging from block Q you are almost side on to the screen. Why couldnt they have had it at Leicester Sq? But then with a smaller capacity I suppose there wouldnt have been any available at all to the likes of us.

    My other concern is that do we get to walk the red carpet as thats half the fun of going? At Leicester Sq theres no choice but for everyone to use the same entrance but here it strikes me that the front entrance will be for people with proper tickets and those of us in block Q will get shunted round to the side doors.

    The missus is away on business so I'll discuss it with her but she might not want to sit apart (you know what birds are) so watch this space folks there may be some going spare.

    Mind you £50 for an event like this seems pretty cheap? I paid Graham Rye £200 in 97 for the TND premiere, which at the time I though wasnt unreasonable but I reckon old Graham must've been creaming a bit off the top considering this is the 50th anniversary and yet its a quarter of what it was 15 years ago?
    To be fair though I did have a good view of the screen at least and Pierce walked within 2 feet of me. Dont think Daniel will be caught strolling around in Block Q (restricted view).
