I'll bet it's going to be great - would love to see more details.

BTW... we're now accepting reservations for our guest room. Wake up to a view of the Hollywood Sign...

As they post more details, you bet I am considering this.

Do I need to make a deposit on the reservation? :-)

This was also made for GC.

Cool! I wonder if it's available in the US?

Awesome! I wonder how many events will be in the evening - I won't be able to take off work.

Well, with 50+ films/screenings at more than one place, I'm sure there will be some good stuff for evening show(s). I must admit, I'm excited.

Feh!

TCM Festival Passes on sale now (http://turnerclassic.moviesunlimited.com/festival/#EssentialPass).

$499 Classic Film Fan (discounted right now to $399)
$599 Essential Festival Pass (discounted right now to $499)
$1199 The Spotlight Pass (discounted right now to $1099)

Looks like this shindig is geared to industry types with large wallets. Not poor movie buffs like me.
:(

For $500, they won't guarantee you a seat, first come, first served? Or perhaps they mean for the individual seating.

I'm assuming individual seating will be available since this is going to spread over several days at several venues. The schedule is still being worked out, apparently. You'd think they'd have it all lined up.

Access to all film programs at all festival venues including the historic Grauman’s Chinese Theatre and Egyptian Theatre, Thursday, April 22-Sunday, April 25 (does not include admittance to Opening Night Red Carpet Gala screening at the historic Grauman’s Chinese Theatre)
