Targeted the new discriminate word. 😔
What about standing?
Choc-ice lives!
Imagine going, only to not get a seat, I was legitimately going to go before reading that.
Edit: It's not even a movie, it's a TV show!
imagine driving all the way to woop woop and find out the seats are all taken
but hopefully I'll just get pop corn and a drink lol
Just got my tickets. Though it does say "please arrive early as this ticket does not guarantee you a seat. Seating is limited and on a first-come, first-served basis"….
well that's a bummer.
Why don't they just sell to capacity? I'm thinking if I wanna go I might bring my folding camping chair.
They're probably expecting a certain amount of no-shows considering it's free.

If you don't get a seat, just ask for a refund…
Lol
Cant see melbourne unless sold out?
Just got tickets for Fountain Gate, should still be available.
Yep I just got some in Jam Factory
You have to sign in to Amazon
I figured it out but jam factory sold out before i could book. You have to search melbourne or it just shows 2 sydney locations.
Mine went straight to Melbourne and only showed there
Check-in, Grab Your Free Concessions, Pre-Show Trivia, BTS Content, and Trailers
Hmmm some weird cross-selling here.
Behind the Scenes content, not BTS (the kpop group)
Ah ok fair enough.
Behind the Scenes content
I thought it meant Better Than Sax
Congratulations, you made me laugh on a hump day
Is there an indication of what they're actually screening? Season 1 is meant to be 6, 40 minute episodes.
The Hollywood Reporter had a fascinating piece on Amazon Studios earlier this month, and this series is discussed.
But in December 2021, with production well underway, the Russo brothers decided to replace showrunner Josh Appelbaum. “It was clear after some audience feedback and discussion that some changes needed to be made,” says Mike Larocca, president and co-founder of AGBO. “We felt like it needed some more character work early to draw people into the show. It was that straightforward.” Appelbaum declined to comment.
David Weil took over as showrunner. When Joe Russo came on set, a “huge bunch of material” was tossed out, an insider says. Sources say the cost of the series climbed toward $300 million, making it Amazon’s second-most expensive show after LOTR. (In an onstage March 10 conversation with Salke at SXSW, Priyanka Chopra said her work on Citadel was the first time she had achieved pay parity in 22 years. That prompted some Amazon executives to joke internally that this was actually the first and second time, since she and the other leads on the show got paid significantly more than planned due to the massive reshoots.)
While the original plan called for eight hourlong episodes, the show that will drop on Amazon in April ended up at six, roughly 40-minute episodes. Amazon has already renewed it for a second season of six hourlong episodes. “There are a couple of relationships where I don’t really understand the bet that is being made,” says one Amazon veteran of the commitment to the project. “But Jen believes in the Russos.”
So 2 free tickets to watch 1 episode of a TV series that will be out to stream 2 days later? Yeah nah.
This is the dumbest thing ive ever signed up for. Why would anyone show up for a movie if theres a chance no seats are available?
Exactly! Epic Fail here.
What would be funny is if everyone who just registered for the tickets thought the same thing and hardly anyone showed up lol
This is the dumbest thing ive ever signed up for
You must be new here
I wonder if you can just get the popcorn and drink without having to view whatever they're showing… My work is only 15 min walk to one of the Sydney ones and I have zero interest in this show
For the free popcorn? Lol. Sounds really weird to me too
this will be on amazon prime TV 28th April just 2 days after or 3 days Australia time on Saturday if you missed wednesday.
thereafter it will be a weekly episode on TV so you're none the wiser watching it on the large screen only for episode 1
however it 'got Priyanka Chopra -Jonas known for being the wife of Nick Jonas, 10 years her junior and mostly thriller movies and up and coming Richard Madden and Stanley Tutti of the Devil wears Prada and as Clive Davies in I wanna dance with somebody the story of Whitney
Lol Stanley Tutti, i think you mean Tucci
Almost ran out of breath reading all that without pausing…
Just watched the trailer… looks like complete shit.. wait for a torrent.
wait for a torrent.
Is there are release date for that?
torrent will not come with free pop corn and drink
How bad is this promotion, they are just going to over release however many tickets, more than the capacity to have some first come first serve bull**** for a TV Show that is releasing on Prime '3 Days' later! Fkn LMAO
Yet people here are still upvoting it… Go figure…
I know right
just go to get free popcorn & drink and don't bother watching?
Well with the closest one to me being 30 min drive each way. I don't think it's worth it lol.. If this was a good Prime movie and not 1 episode and guaranteed a seat, I would go but this is terrible.
Planning to do the same since the location is in a walking distance.
i intend to try this lul.
Planning to do the same too lol
First come first serve? What a joke! And what about people who don't manage to secure a ticket on the day?
This must be a joke, there is no unique barcode or anything. Basically, anyone can rock up and you might not get a seat.
typical jeff bezos lol he loves playing jokes that guy!
always fun to go to these and see who the ozbargainers are, my last movie didn't come with free popcorn and you can safely assume those with a comically large backpack and no snacks are ozbargainers
yeah those are macpac halo jacket wearing guys in guyfront bonds trunks and popover Kmart hoodie
also with kogan theft resistant $9.99 backpack inside which you'll find an Asus "gaming" router powered by eneloops.
Isn’t citadel a six-part series?
What are they showing - just ep1?
😂
episode 1 only. like 45mins top. ok if you like travel for a free popcorn and drink
I have Amazon prime & I never received a email about this premiere or any past premieres. How do I make sure I do?
Would love tickets to Jam Factory if anyone has spare :) THanks so much!
wow sold out fast
Wow. Prime is joining the airlines in not understanding the word "ticket".
Didn't get a ticket. But from the sound of it, there isn't a ticket really? Just rock up and hope to get a spot? Any generous OzB member willing to PM a screenshot for the Werribee screening acknowledgement?
you need to provide photo id on arrival.
Please check in at the Prime Premiere table inside the lobby. Bring a copy of this ticket
(printed or digital) and your photo ID. Reps will check you in and provide your concessions
ticket voucher.
Taking a leaf from an airline playbook regarding seat availability?
Sold out now for Sydney sites
Just cancelled jam factory for those interested
Publicity Stunt which appears to be working to plan based on this page alone hahah
Free popcorn and drink night !!!!! YEEAHH !!!
At the screening and it is a bit of a debacle; they’re currently running 25 minutes late.
How was it
It's all crickets in here after the deal came and went
