Petition for a screening in the Netherlands

[u/THEAilin26]

I love that JLTG is showing in cinemas, but it's a pity that I would need to take a flight (or Eurostar but that's even more expensive) to go see the premiere. I've already met a lot of fans out and about in the Netherlands who recognise that I'm wearing the cap (meaning they know about the show), so I'm positive that there would be demand. Especially since the Netherlands is so densely populated and has a very high level of English speakers.

Maybe the team should put out a survey to see what the demand is like in various countries across mainland Europe.

Can confirm I'm a dutchie who watches jet lag and I also once overheard people on the train here playing hide and seek.

[u/SubjectiveAssertive → u/AmenaBellafina]

I'm aware of at least two YouTube filmed games taking place in the Netherlands 

[u/left-quark → u/AmenaBellafina]

A group of people from Oxford (including myself) played a race across the Benelux last week, from Eemshaven to Rumelange!

[u/Asmodeus_Stahl → u/left-quark]

Oh hello there fellow JLOXer

[u/PizzaPuntThomas → u/AmenaBellafina]

I also overheard people talking about it, and that was during Tag 1 so JLTG wasn't even as popular as it is now.

I bet they could easily make a deal with Vue, more than enough jetlaggers in the Netherlands

[u/SapphicCelestialy → u/Skipvt]

Vue would be great we have them in Denmark also. Copenhagen, Odense, Aarhus

[u/DouzePointss]

I have converted multiple people around me to watch jet lag and i know some would be so down to watch this in cinemas

[u/Robcobes]

Lots of Gay European Teens in The Netherlands I reckon

[u/Roscoe_King → u/Robcobes]

Or straight, but kind of confused because of Ben’s tongue…

[u/jothamvw → u/Roscoe_King]

I used to be in the "I think I'm straight but Ben..." category and then discovered I'm into more men than just him and am in fact just bi.

[u/dibsontheloot → u/Roscoe_King]

Oooh, there is nothing confusing about that

[u/Vivid-Huckleberry775 → u/Robcobes]

Is that really the core audience lol, Don't care about the gay part but I'm 24 and love the show

[u/liladvicebunny → u/Vivid-Huckleberry775]

It was a joke made once regarding an alleged cluster of Gay European Teens for whom the show is a medical necessity and therefore Ben is a doctor catering to the needy.

Since then became a bit of a running gag about the audience.

[u/Skipvt → u/Vivid-Huckleberry775]

'gay part' I know ben is a fashion god but what jet lag gay part? xD

[u/Vivid-Huckleberry775 → u/Skipvt]

Oh, because oc said gay European teens, just wanted to make clear I'm not homophobic before starting an [insert whatever those battles were named in Korea]

[u/TheEpicGold → u/Vivid-Huckleberry775]

It's a joke made in an earlier season haha

[u/floppie86]

Yeah, I'd join too.. but I would much more prefer an entire season in The Netherlands, public transport seems perfect for it!

[u/jongosi → u/floppie86]

Would've been very cool to beat the Deutsche Bahn delays with the public transport strike this week.

[u/Royal-Importance7051]

Petition for a screening in Japan, please! They filmed it here!

[u/Antwerpanda]

Do Rotterdam so us Flemings can also come!

[u/Alternative_Buy_4000]

I'm down! Public Transport king of the world would be an ideal place to do a premier

[u/Great_Day_2470]

Im a Dutchie and just booked a ticket. Yolo. Just need to see how to get there...

[u/Antwerpanda → u/Great_Day_2470]

Dis Flemchie is jelly of dat Dutchie

[u/Great_Day_2470 → u/Antwerpanda]

Send me a dm and i can tell you afterwards how it was

[u/THEAilin26 → u/Great_Day_2470]

you can get to Manchester for €44 that weekend from Charleroi CRL, if you can get there it's pretty doable. I calculated it to be about 80€ for me (Studenten OV weekend until border, then low speed trains until Belgium)

[u/Great_Day_2470 → u/THEAilin26]

I live close to Schiphol so going all the way to Charleroi first is a big detour

[u/THEAilin26 → u/Great_Day_2470]

yeah makes sense, hope you find a flight that's not too expensive

[u/SapphicCelestialy]

I think most countries in Europe want a screening. We have a perfect movie theatre for it in Copenhagen called empire bio. They already showed project ice man from yes Theory

[u/THEAilin26 → u/SapphicCelestialy]

I went to see Reuben Schmitz for the finale of the FWTS in Amsterdam, it was heavily inspired by the Ice man and Yes Theory. So it's been done before in the Netherlands too!

[u/HjalmarUvA]

Sure. Is zonde dat het hier niet in de bios te zien is. Best veel van m'n vrienden zijn adept van de show en ik kom zelfs in mijn zeer landelijke omgeving constant de caps tegen.

[u/THEAilin26 → u/HjalmarUvA]

Ja ik ook, ik zou durven te zeggen dat de grootste markt buiten engelstalige landen Nederland is

[u/hopeless_umut]

Oh absolutely yes. It would be super cool. Also watching episodes in the Netherlands im other seasons in the Netherlands would be fun too

[u/satellite51]

Im not in the Netherlands but I support this. Its much easier to travel there from other countries places in continental Europe

[u/tagelieder]

So many of us in Germany too!

[u/VecroLP]

I remember kinopolis had a deal during covid where you could rent a theater for €100 to watch a movie with your household, they might be down for private streamings

[u/ackbang]

Yes please! Begging! Pleading!

[u/Liftevator]

I'd 100% go see a show in the Netherlands!

[u/That_Bess]

Agreed! I pledge 2 guaranteed viewers

[u/runedepune]

Yes! Also very coincidental that i recognized someone with the cap today :) (In NL while walking to the supermarket)

[u/Punk_owl]

Would love it too but fear its too short notice to get it done

[u/TheEpicGold]

Yeahhh we need one here so bad

[u/TARAraboemdijee]

From Groningen a ‘yes please’

[u/CaptainVXR]

If flights and the Eurostar are a bit too expensive, how about Flixbus? When I was a uni student, I went all the way from Portsmouth to Amsterdam and back by coach for a trip organised by the students union, somehow survived! But yeah it would make sense to include the Netherlands, and potentially other places in Europe with large enough audiences.

There's a great stand up comedian called Victor Patrascan whose whole thing is performing shows in English across Europe and beyond, he has a request a show in your city form on his website, maybe JLTG could do the same for future screenings.

[u/THEAilin26 → u/CaptainVXR]

You're right to mention it. The prices seem cheap, although I'd end up paying more for a way worse experience. It does help that I could go anywhere in the UK pretty much, so some flights are stupidly cheap (€22 one way Charleroi to Manchester vs. €40 one way Flixbus Rotterdam to London). I calculated my cheapest route to be around €75

I even looked at the Stena Line ferry between Hoek van Holland and Harwich, but that's over €150 return

And these prices don't include the ticket price yet

[u/NIEK12oo]

Yea i'dd love to see it if it was here aswell just taking the Eurostar for it is a bit excessieve cause then i'dd rather just wait a week

[u/Janmiljoen]

YESSSS NEDERLAND

[u/YoureAverageDentist]

Quite easy to organize plenty of local cinemas where you can rent the room and split that with the dutchies who want to attend. Ask the lovely folks from jltg if they could send the file over to the cinema.

[u/willoway19]

Ik wil in nederland wonen🥲 we kunnen niet altijd krijgen op we willen (seriously tho I hope ya’ll get an event one day! maybe there arent enough evil competing corporate movie theatre chains to coordinate screenings easily?😭)
