Thanks to Middle-earth News contributor and Welly-moot Founder Jack Machiela for the update!

Looks like we did it – Wellington’s Embassy Theatre is opening up the box office at 1 minute past midnight tomorrow! We’ll just HAVE to have a party!

We’ve just heard that the Embassy Theatre has agreed to open up their Box Office for ticket sales, tomorrow midnight – at 12:01am, EARLY Wednesday morning.

So let’s make it worth their while; if you are able, turn up to the Embassy around 11:30pm on the evening of Tuesday the 6th of November, ready to purchase your HOBBIT Tickets for December 12th!

Alex and I will be there with our brand new Welly-moot banner, and hopefully we’ll have the finished Welly-moot T-shirts as well, so we should be easy to spot!

It’s all coming together nicely! Spread the word, and see you at the Embassy tomorrow night! Come in costume if you can/want!

And I would like to extend a BIG “thank you” to Elly from the Embassy for making it happen!

Author: Lily’s first experience with Tolkien was when the eccentric Mrs. H performed all of the characters from The Hobbit in her seventh grade class. In high school, she felt obliged to decline a second date with a boy who said he had no interest in reading The Lord of the Rings. In college, she unwisely decided to reread her beloved copy of The Hobbit during finals week, with only semi-disastrous results. When not writing for Middle-earth News, Lily tries not to unnerve her coworkers and family with her extreme geekery, but somehow, Star Wars, Star Trek, Sherlock, Merlin, Doctor Who, The Princess Bride, Back to the Future, superheroes, Disney movies, and of course, Tolkien, seem to have relevance in EVERY conversation.
