Man, I wished I had known about this. I didn't read this thread before. I was wandering around about that time looking for something to do. Note to self, be more organized.

You had to have rsvp'd on the website earlier.

I thought someone early was saying they let in anyone with a badge.

They eventually even removed the badge requirement. Anyone over the age of 21 was allowed in.

Two women stopped us in the gaslamp quarter on Friday and gave us postcards advertising this. They just said show up, nothing about RSVP. They even told us one of our party could get in no problem even though she's not 21 yet. Everywhere else I looked said 21+ so we didn't risk it.

Walked right in at 7:30 with no line. Didn't RSVP...had my badge but they didn't seem to check it, they only wanted ID.

I was in theater 2. No wigs or Charlize...still, definitely can't complain about a free movie, food, and booze. :)

The party was fun. No one really checked out ticket or badge, only ID. Depending on your bartender, you could end up with a really strong mule too. They gave out sunglasses and cassettes which was cool and had a couple photo op spots.

They rented out the whole theater so every screen was showing it. However, I believe the party groups were ushered into two of the 8 theaters; theater 3 got sunglasses & wigs (for the social media promo shot) and Charlize & director and theater i think 5 or 6 was given Charlize & director. If you didn't go to the party and just the movie I don't think they gave you anything but a movie.

We got lucky and were an early group into the movie. We accidentally sat in one of the reserved rows (no one said we couldn't and someone before us had already pulled down the tape) and by the time they realized what happened, the only spot with enough chairs together for us was in one of the front rows. Turned out to be great since it was near Charlize when she sat for the promo shot.

To add, Theater 1 filed up at the party and we got the director and Charlize.  She came in with a What's Up, ......! and maybe she expected us to have wigs on, which we didn't.  She made great comments honoring the fans and someone from the row said "how many Millions".  We laughed and Charlize replied to the guy about talking over lunch and left.  It became our theme for the movie and the rest of the con!

I was at the party and entered through it but we didn't get any extras. I got in line fairly late though (around 7:45) so that may have had something to do with it.

And my mule was certainly strong...  8)
