Where will this motion picture be playing and how much are tickets? I can't find this information anywhere.

Funny you should ask that in a thread that is nothing BUT information about where this motion picture is playing and how to obtain tickets (...like being in an ocean, and asking where can you find water; or being at the beach, and asking where you can find sand). It's almost as if you hadn't read ANY of it, lol.

This Is It," features Michael Jackson in his final days rehearsing for a series of comeback concerts in London, shortly before his untimely death. The movie will be drawn from hundreds of hours of rehearsal and behind-the-scenes footage. Jackson was staging his rehearsals at Staples Center and The Forum. The film will also offer select sequences in 3D and will also have a career retrospective and interviews with some of Jackson's closest friends and collaborators

Fans Camp Out For Tickets
Sepember 26, 2009


Michael Jackson devotees have been camping for days in downtown Los Angeles to get tickets for the debut of a film about the fallen pop star rehearsing for a concert tour derailed by his death.

By Saturday morning about 300 people were ensconced in a queue in front of the Nokia Theatre, where commemorative tickets for debut showings of "This Is It" were to go on sale the first minute into Sunday.

"We don't sleep, we stay up all night," said Leticia Martin, who had staked out a spot near the front of the queue.

The 26-year-old medical technician spent Friday night learning dance moves to Jackson's iconic "Thriller" song from costumed zombies that entertained those waiting in line.

Some fans snuggled in sleeping bags on the concrete, while others napped in folding chairs.

"We're like one big family," Martin told AFP as she scanned the encampment.

Theatre operators expecting a crowd had used metal barriers to cordon off eight rows, three of which were empty leaving plenty of dancing room for a group reminiscent of a small tribe of pop music refugees.

Jackson fans were eager to get their hands on some of the first 500 movie tickets, which the film's promoters said will commemorate "This Is It" concerts Jackson had planned in London.

For some waiting here, getting a Jackson-designed piece of pop music history like the tickets was worth relying on public restrooms and missing work and sleep.

"I was up all night," said Andrew Wynglarz, a 26-year-old bus driver from Southern California.

Wynglarz sat with three friends and proudly recounted having had the good fortune to get inside the nearby Staples Center for a globally-watched July 7th Jackson memorial event.

Brenda Gonzalez said she joined the ticket camp at 3 o'clock Friday morning with her sister and a friend.

"I only slept like four hours, and I sleep 12 usually," said Gonzalez, a 26-year-old unemployed Los Angeles woman who was also among the fans that managed to get tickets for the Jackson memorial.

Fans in the queue expressed surprise that excitement surrounding the pending film release had thus far not matched the huge outpouring of emotion that followed Jackson's death on June 25th at the age of 50.

"It's a movie; maybe if he was still alive...," said Jimmy Lee, a 34-year-old Jackson imitator who performs for tourists on Hollywood Boulevard.

"After the memorial, it all calmed down," Wynglarz added. "This is just like a bonus."

Lee was adamant that people like him who had been camped out for tickets since Thursday afternoon were proof that "People are still reacting to his death. We're still kind of mourning."

About 3,000 tickets go on sale starting early Sunday for the behind-the-scenes concert film's Oct. 27th debut in Los Angeles.

Martin said that the long wait for prime tickets was only the first hurdle and that Jackson lovers would be again queuing for preferred seats inside theaters on opening day.

"We're going to have to get here early," Martin intoned.

I got mine from Fandango as well. The times and theaters were really awkward though. I wanted to see it on the UltraScreen but the only theater that has it here is only showing the movie on 10/27 at 11 p.m. mad

So I'm going on 10/29 to a different theater.

I am really looking forward to it. I hope the movie does him justice. If so, it will be a great night. I never saw him live so this is the closest I will ever get. sad

I GOT MY TICKETS!! biggrin

1 hr 8 mins ago

LOS ANGELES – Michael Jackson is still playing to sellout crowds.

Advance screenings to the music documentary "Michael Jackson: This Is It" sold out within two hours early Sunday as fans who began lining up three days earlier snapped up all 3,000 tickets to the Los Angeles shows.

The documentary opens nationwide Oct. 28, but fans will get a sneak peek the night before in screenings at the new Regal Cinemas Stadium 14. For the theater's grand opening, the cinema will show "This Is It" on all 14 screens that night.

Directed by longtime Jackson collaborator Kenny Ortega, "This Is It" draws on hundreds of hours of footage as Jackson prepared for a series of London concerts for which he was rehearsing before his death on June 25.

I was up until almost 3 last night trying to help another fan on another site get her tickets. That would be cool if they offered commerative tickets for this,but I am just glad to be able to see it. What day are you going?

Because Michael would never do moves like "he" did in that Human Nature clip. Whoever that was couldn't even spin around properly.

Going on the 28th other friends wouldn't be able to see the midnight screenings on the 27th .... And in a way I think the 28th is fine just to document the day of opening will be cool. I hope everyone wherever they see it will take lOTS of photos of their theater/ attendees because after all this is indeed will BE IT.
no other after him.
