Can Unbelievers Get Tickets?

[OneAccord]

I'm just wondering how unbelievers and secular folks are going to be able to get in to see the Passion, since churches are buying up large blocks of seats in the theaters. In my small town, there are enough churches to buy out the theater for at least a week, if not longer.

If my husband and I chose to go see it, I'm not so sure we would even get in because we don't belong to a church.

Anyone else foreseeing problems getting in?

I don't think we will be able to get in right away no. But I really think the movie theaters will play this movie way over the time they usually do with their releases. So maybe we won't get in on opening day or even the first few weeks but I think with a little patience everyone will be able to see it.

anyway I hope :il:

Love and Blessings,

Angel

The churches may be buying up seats but they wont take all time slots and I don't think that the theaters will allow them to dominate all screens that it is showing on...I believe that the unbeliever will be able to get in. Its just like went Star Wars Episode I came out you had to buy your tickets in advance and with the publicity this movie is getting people are being told this, so they are aware if they want to be there on opening day that they need to get their tickets early. It will be around for a while and everyone that wants to see it in the theater will be able to.

I so believe God is in control of this whole movie, in His sovereignty His will shall be done.

I believe that God has ordained many lost to see the film; He's put it in their hearts and minds and will use the film to draw them to His Son.

I believe this whole thing is in His hands and He is in total control.

i had tomorrow afternoon planned out. i was going to pick my daughter up from school and catch the 3:30 show. on the news this morning i heard that in most theaters, the show was already sold out for the first several days.

i kinda doubt the little theater on my corner of the town is sold out... but i think i'll wait til next week anyway. i hate crowded theaters. i've gotten very spoiled to having a theater virtually to myself in this city over the last few years. i'm not willing to take a chance of being stuck in the very front row craning my neck!

I thought churches were buying seats so that members could invite unbelieving friends, family, etc.

Lady, I live in the boonies and I was shocked to hear that we needed to buy advanced tickets. That has never happened, lol. I take that as a GOOD thing.

Oh, and btw - are you making a derogatory comment about those who LIKE to sit in the front row??? I resemble that remark! LOL

WIP, let me tell you a secret about movie theaters in vegas.

now keep in mind my perspective... i grew up in the dallas area. theaters that stood alone with 18 screens, and 500 seats per screen, and packed all hours of the day. not so here.

almost all theaters are inside casinos. what do people do in casinos? here's a hint, they don't watch movies! the average seats per screen is... i actually counted one time when i arrived early LOL, is about 75 seats, and there's usually only a handful of people for any given show! except when some big blockbuster comes out of course... the last what was it? star wars revisitied or something? anyway, that one was sold out for about two days at most places, but i think that's the only movie i've ever heard of in this city that drew a crowd!

anyway, in such a tiny theater, give me a back row seat! in fact, give me a back row seat in any theater... they always have more legroom LOL.
