Be Excellent To Each Other

I have tickets for August 10th for me and Mrs T.
Anyone else planning on going?

Is it a play, or something?

It's the film, but with live action bits and in a special setting etc...

How do you get there if the location is a secret?

Not using roads, that's for sure.

It's not that secret, it's in Hill Valley.

Dr SG and myself were seriously considering it, looks amazing, but we are forking out a shit load to do family weddings and a friends ordination so couldn't justify the expense.

Hope you have a great time.

Cheers SG, I expect it will be a right laugh, just need to get my outfit (speaking of which, i'm going to another secret event thing on Friday, in which the dress code is bold, brash, bonkers and quintessentially English, so that'll be a laugh too I imagine!)

New dates for BTTF announced, tickets on sale tomorrow at 1pm.

so what are you going for?

Opening night last night!



Which was cancelled an hour before it started, via text message, sent to people who had already been advised not to bring their phones with them...

What the fuck happened?

Nobody knows yet. Luckily our tickets aren't till August 10th, but it is pretty shocking behaviour for those affected.

Current theories are:
1) The set isn't ready
2) There was a legal challenge against their plan to take everyones mobile off them when they arrive.
3) Health and safety said no
4) They lost a load of council paperwork and the council said no

Luckily for everyone planning to go tonight, they said they would put out a statement at 11am today as to what happened and whether tonight is on.... which they didn't do and still haven't said anything.

It's all a bit of a shambles really!

FTFY

And now, according to twitter, the Olympic Park is being evacuated due to an unexploded WW2 bomb being found. Which just so happens to be the not-so-secret location of Hill Valley...

There's a joke in here about time travel but I'm buggered if I can make it work.

Their facebook page is a huge car crash at the mo.
It definitely seems like the set hadn't been finished off in time, and tonights show is definitely off as well.

Yup, tonights show has just been cancelled via text message.

Considering how monstrously expensive tickets for this are, you'd think they'd have got their shit together long ago ready for this.

I'm... um... going on August 23rd.

The facebook page last night was fucking hilarious after the BBC linked to it and some of the more hysterical complainants had their arses handed to them.

They do seem to be managing the issues with a total lack of competence, and I know they'll hide behind their T&Cs, but only offering a face value refund for people who may have been travelling from all over the country at great expense is piss poor.

It's not just the travelling - you're expected to go along in fancy dress, so many will need to spend money on clothes for it and may not be able to make one of the alternative dates.

The whole first week has been cancelled now!

One of the headline stories on the BBC news website now.

It actually went ahead last night, which was a mild surprise There is hope for my booking then.

It's actually not ready until October 2015, but they sent some of the actors back.

Peter Bradshaw in the Guardian went last night and gave it a favourable review.

That was bloody brilliant

Aren't I a dreamboat...

If you're the one on the right then you're pretty hot.

Is that your mom?

She thinks his name is Primark.

The Empire Strikes Back

I shall be attempting to obtain tickets.

Me too, but definitely not in the first few weeks after last year's farce.

Tickets bought for Saturday 4th July.
Guy I work with has tickets for the first weekend, which is brave of him...
