To those of you who know me best, you'll realize how ECSTATIC I was to receive this email from a trusted pre-screening ticket provider this evening. 
In my childish glee, I thought to myself, "I'll wait until I get home to a desktop where I can print the tickets and be sure that I don't have any problems." Much to my dismay, by the time I got home and clicked on the "Claim My Passes" button (a mere 15 minutes after receiving the email), I was redirected to another webpage...
...like a Morgul blade to my movie-loving, Hobbit-watching, ring-bearing heart, I read those fateful words, "Sorry, Event Full."
It is difficult for me to express how much I wanted to see this pre-screening a full 2 WEEKS prior to premiere of the film! How exciting, unique and fantastic an opportunity that would have been! I'm sure you can understand. But alas, I missed it. Like Frodo before me, I am led to say, "I wish it need not have happened in my time." In hindsight, I didn't even receive the push notification from gofobo to my phone until 45 minutes after the screening was announced so I probably missed it anyway - such is life. Oh well, at least I can take solace in seeing The Hobbit Movie Marathon in IMAX/3D/48 FPS in a few weeks! Be sure to keep your eyes peeled for my review of The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies prior to opening weekend!
Have any of you ever been able to attend a pre-screening of a film? What websites/ticket masters do you use to get your tickets?
