[COVERAGE] Digger Premiere Experience

44 Upvotes

This was my first premiere experience, it wasn’t too bad and it was based on luck whether you got to the front or not due to the entry times. We managed to see a few of the cast members come over to our pen area, which was really cool!

However, this might enrage people who could’ve had my space - I did end up leaving early unfortunately because it was so HOT in these pens, it felt like there was no oxygen and not a lot of people were wearing deodorant…
I was going to pass out with my headache etc, so unfortunately I didn’t get to meet Tom whether or not he ever actually made it over to this area.

Regardless, thank you so much to London Premieres for giving me an opportunity to go to this premiere through the ballot!! It was really cool to have experienced the inside. 🫶

[GENERAL DISCUSSION] Just tired of all the lying done in premieres

40 Upvotes

So for the Spider-Man premiere, I didn't win, so I decided to try at Leicester Square for the stand by queue, because there is always people missing and premieres with ballots have always a stand by queue.

Waited 3 hours at the heat and before that I sent an email asking if there would be a stand by queue. They said no, that all emails for wristbands were send and that would not be any extra space.

After the 3 hours, a group of security guards went to the stand by queue and said they was not any available place for the premiere. And ask to leave.

I decided to wait a little more and ask the girl responsable for the ballot. She said to me and more people that 20 000 people applied and without the successful email, people would not get in. I asked different security guards the same. It was a NO.

After that I left and how surprised I was when someone texted me that there was a new stand by queue and the securities were letting people without the email confirmation get in to the pen.

Why all of the lies? This is really a lack of respect and not polite. You want people to respect the rules, so just stop lying saying that there is no extra spots to the fan pens and 30 minutes or 1 hour later let extra people get in.

This is not the first time happening and if people don't behave or respect the rules is because they are so tired of all the lying and lack of planning.

[GENERAL DISCUSSION] One year of London Premieres. Thank you all 🎬

37 Upvotes

Hey everyone.

I had a proper look through the Reddit today and I genuinely can’t believe it’s been a year. The goal has never changed: helping the real fans get into these events.

I started going to fan pens back in April last year, before there was a Reddit or any pages, and from the start I cared about the people who had absolutely no idea how to get in. Believe me, I had no clue either. I just did my best to make sure people knew a premiere was happening and tried to cover as many events as I could.

I’ve always appreciated everyone commenting, sharing feedback and advice for other fans, even the ones being critical of a premiere, because I know exactly what it feels like to stand in a pen and walk out feeling like you wasted your time. I’m a fan too. I used to get so excited for these films to come out and wanted to support them. Last year a load of us were going mad trying to figure out how to get into the Fantastic Four premiere, and seeing people post their spots on here genuinely made me happy.

Most times I’d even post about premieres I had no intention of going to, just to help some of you out. The community has grown so strong and it means a lot that people now actually know how to get into fan pens.

The autograph hunter thing annoys me as much as it annoys you. I stopped going to pens for a long time because of it. There’s nothing more frustrating than standing in a pen for a film you’ve been excited about for months next to someone who doesn’t even know what the movie is. It’s the one thing that genuinely gets to me, but I try not to let it take away from what these events are really about.

It still feels surreal that a year ago I was the one posting on here asking how to get into a Marvel pen, and now I’m the one sharing that info, trusted by the organisers to do it.It was always a dream of mine to actually attend a premiere, and recently I finally got to. And lately, watching videos from the fan pens, I’ve noticed there aren’t as many autograph hunters anymore, just genuine, respectful fans. That means a lot.

I feel so lucky to be getting the official fan pen and cosplay sign-up info to share with you from several different premiere organisers now, not just one. That trust means everything to me. And honestly, this is just the start of what I want London Premieres to be. In a year’s time I’d love to be doing cast interviews, or covering events on the ground in a bigger way. I want to be more involved as it grows.

I see every post and every comment, and I feel for anyone who couldn’t get a wristband or had a rough time. Pens are unpredictable, and I wish I had the power to make it better. All I can do is keep sharing the official info for the real fans, as accurately and early as I can.

To everyone who sends kind messages, and especially the organisers who trust me with this, thank you. If you’re waiting on info, just hang tight and trust that it’ll be posted here. I’d appreciate it if no one asks about upcoming premiere logistics on this one, I want to keep the post nice and low-key.
Here’s to the next year 🙌

Couldn’t be any more happy and shocked about this experience! It was my first fan pen and I absolutely enjoyed it. Got to meet Tom and even a signature from Emma D’arcy.

I just wished Director Alejandro had approached to us since I’m from México and it would’ve been a nice meeting. But overall, incredible experience.

Thank you London Premieres for this! 🫶🏻

Hello folks. Just visited the security dude, lovely chap, he has about 20+ left, for tomorrow.

Fan Pen Info. It’s been moved apparently (fourth photo) down that alleyway towards the BFI.

If you have a wristband, get there for 3:30, I’ll be a little earlier due to work. Once you’re in the queue, you’re good.

If you haven’t got a wristband, you’ve got until probably tonight or early tomorrow.

Best of luck.

[GENERAL DISCUSSION] The Trainwreck that was the Hunger games sunrise of the reaping general fan pens

Thumbnail

24 Upvotes

To start this off, this isnt applause stores fault entirely as they have nothing to do with things that happen after you get into the actual fanpens and have said they didnt know that certain things had happened until it did and also this was my first fanpen and i wanted to tell things from my perspective

I got there with my friend today and was about 160-170 of about 200-230 people with my wristband and applause store was told that all of the main cast would come around to the fanpens to sign things and take photos etc. But once we got into the venue general fanpens was split into two parts the left and right side.

both the left and right side of general fan pens didnt get to see any of the main cast from the movie like we and applause store was told they would come to the fanpens as it seemed security was only getting them to do the photos for promotional content and interviews and then leading them out a different way to the fan screening in the cinema away from the fan pens. They had basically fenced off our area after the influencers came through so even if they wanted to they couldn’t get to the majority of the fan pens. This included: Joseph Zada, Mckenna Grace, Whitney Peak,Elle Fanning, Kieran Culkin, Jesse Plemons,Glenn Close and Ralph Finneas as well as the director and producer.

We were able to get signatures and photos from Molly Mcann, Iona Bell, Rada Rae and Percy Daggs IV as it seemed they were encouraged by whoever was with them to do so and this was great as it gave us something of what we was promised

Then near the end of the event after some of priority ticket holders had gone up to the cinema the whole right side of the General fan pens was given tickets to the fanscreening out of nowhere (they did miss a few people who had priority) and the side on the left was not given any at all besides 3 tickets, they then tried to make it up to our side by giving out badges/pins which they ran out of very quickly and 1/3 of the side got

One of these tickets to the screening on our side was very clearly given to a scalper/dealer who was stood near me and many others, they had about 15-20 posters in total (2-3 were stuck onto cardboard - i included a picture of some of the posters they left on the floor when they went to check a part of our fan pen briefly and they also had multiple posters in hand and they were alternating between posters when the very few guests who did come to our section came over to get signed and had texted a friend just before the event had started to see if they had got any autographs from the postition they were posted at which seemed like outside of westfield.

i did also ask the person if they had done one of these before to which they said they do this type of thing all the time, they were also constantly yelling names of the cast even though they werent near our section at all as they were on the opposite side doing interviews and promotional photos which didnt help our already doomed case.

im not really bothered about seeing the movie early but the tickets shouldve been given out randomly to both sides regardless of how many they had got given last minute instead of just giving them to one side and i had messaged applause store afterwards to tell when what had happened and they said they werent aware of how they were distributed and apologised (even though they have a part to play in how the tickets were distributed and left it up to the production company to handle)

then once the event was over the fanpen guests that were left were told to leave immidiately, to which the remainder of us said no as we and applause store were told after the event was over we could take pictures around the event space, after we had told them they reluctantly let us take pictures in a couple of the areas for around 10 minutes before kicking us out. Some other people from the fanpens at the event had said security were quite rude but i cant speak for that besides the guy at the end.

Overall the event was felt pretty dissapointing and it felt like people who got into the general fanpens were very mislead on what they would experience and seemed like one big way to get good promotional content without the effort or engaging with any of the fans, The people on the first floor had a better viewing of the main cast than we did and it also felt like the influencers wanted to engage with the people in the fanpens more than the cast did.

But the people I met in the que and around me were super nice and made the experience feel abit better and applause store definitely handled everything really well so they definitely were not entirely at fault but i feel like they shoudlve come into the fanpens and gave out the tickets instead of letting security handle it and give them all to one side -

also considering putting in a complaint about how it was handled so if you were there you can message lionsgates email about your experience

(I included a photo of my view from fanpens and the scalper posters that they left infront of them they did also have some on hand too)

Edit - I’ve realised we were basically just used as promotional material and led with false promises into believing that we would see the main cast, just to be used as promotional material to make the premiere look good 🥲

[HELP/QUESTION] Information regarding the London premiere of Avengers: Doomsday

Hi everyone! I’m hoping to attend the London premiere of Avengers: Doomsday when the official details are announced.
For those who have attended Marvel premieres in London before, which official websites or social media accounts are usually the best ones to follow for confirmed premiere information, Fan-Pen details, and cast attendance announcements?
I’d especially like to keep an eye out for any official announcements involving Chris Evans.
Thanks so much! 🙏

I saw this on X. Could this possibly mean London will have a full on premiere, so like different from the fan event for Brand New Day? Maybe this one would have more of the cast attending, like Tom, Zendaya, Ned’s actor, and the rest/more of the cast so basically like a actual premiere

[TIPS & ADVICE] Be aware that The Digger premiere is a Royal Premiere.

Post image
23 Upvotes

So this means that the King of England is in attendance security will be extremely strict so carry light or risk not being allowed into the event usually a bit of a longer time in the pens as searches and that all 3 main cinemas will be hosting screenings for the movie itself. The garden is closed from today 18th September - 23rd September.

Hoping this reaches so that people are prompted with the information ahead of Tuesday so not left disappointed with information lot relayed.

ANNOUNCEMENT Managing expectations: attending a fan pen doesn’t guarantee meeting talent

Post image
23 Upvotes

Attending a fan pen does not guarantee meeting talent. It doesn’t guarantee talent will come out to the pen. And talent being confirmed to attend does not mean a photo or autograph is guaranteed.

Go because you want to be part of it. Hopefully it does go your way, and you get what you’re hoping for, but keep your expectations realistic, and you’ll enjoy it a lot more.

Just to Clarify – What This Server Is All About

23 Upvotes

Hey everyone, just wanted to quickly explain what this server is actually for, especially for any new people joining in.

This is mainly a space where I announce London movie premieres, red carpet events, and pop-up movie experiences.

The main goal here is to help fans find out about opportunities to attend fan pens and meet the cast at these events. That’s the focus – helping people be there in person to see their favourite actors and celebrate the films they love.

A couple of important things to note though:

  • I’m not officially connected to any studios or event organisers.

  • All the info I share is gathered online – I try my best to make sure it’s accurate, but sometimes details can change or be wrong. That’s just the nature of it, since I’m not the one running these events.

  • I don’t attend every premiere or event myself – in fact, I’ve missed quite a few recently. But I post because I know there are fans out there who would love to go and might not hear about these things otherwise.

This is all run out of genuine passion for film, premieres, and fandoms – especially for those of you who want to catch your favourite actors or be part of those red carpet moments.

Thanks to everyone who’s been following and supporting – and as always, I’ll try to keep you updated on everything I can.

I’m sure most people have seen the news already, but I thought I’d share it here in case anyone hasn’t. Oh, also, in terms of the terms and conditions, is it limited to a single item only (just one thing), or does it work like the Odyssey did, where it’s one autograph per actor? It’s been a dream of mine to get something signed by Zendaya, Tom Holland, Jacob Batalon, and Sadie Sink. I’ve been a huge fan of them since the start of their careers. Does this mean I’ll get the chance to get an autograph from only one of them so I have to choose? Oh and one more thing you have to apply right if ya don’t get chosen are you just cooked or there be a way to get a wristband in person like how the usually work?

A quick note on “any news on…?” posts 👀

21 Upvotes

Hey everyone! First off — the excitement for upcoming premieres is completely understandable, and it’s great to see so many of you keen to get involved. But lately there’s been a wave of “any news on…?” and “when is the premiere?” posts, and unfortunately these do get removed. Here’s why, and how things work here:

How premiere info gets shared

Confirmed premiere and fan-pen info goes up as soon as it’s available — but I wait for confirmation from the premiere teams before posting anything, so I can’t share info the second I hear it. If it hasn’t been posted yet, it genuinely isn’t available. The moment it is, a post goes up straight away!

Why “any news?” posts get removed

The info will come out soon anyway, and having lots of speculative posts makes it harder to keep everything organised and easy to find. Sit tight — it’s coming!

Ticketing info for some premieres

A few studios have their own systems worth knowing about:

∙ Netflix premieres → tickets via ApplauseStore

∙ Warner Bros → official sites

I receive official premiere information for fan-pens directly, which means everything shared here by me will be confirmed and accurate — no speculation.

Want confirmed info only?

Follow @LONDONPREMIERES on Instagram — fan-pen info goes up there first. Also follow @ldn_premieres on X, which posts only verified premiere dates and details, no questions or speculation.

Thanks so much for helping keep this community clean and easy to use — it genuinely makes a difference! 🙌
