How is a ‘screening’ event different to a ‘premiere’?
How can I get invited to a screening?
How can I get tickets to see the film and walk the red carpet on premiere night?
To see the film on the night of the premiere, you must have a ticket to gain entry in the cinema. Tickets can be purchased from charities and agencies however, they will come at a hefty price. Another way to get tickets to a premiere is to win them so be sure to keep your eye out for competitions. If you’re lucky enough to have tickets, you’ll have to walk along the carpet to get into the venue so dress to impress, the cameras might be on you!
Will I need a wristband to be in the crowd pens?
Yes, wristbands are handed out at all premieres now therefore, you must have a wristband to gain entry in the crowd pens.
What time do I need to arrive to get a wristband?
The time you need to arrive to collect a wristband will differ for every premiere. This all depends on the scale of the film, how big of a fanbase it has, what celebrities will be attending etc. For films on a smaller scale such as ‘Daddy’s Home’ or ‘Red Sparrow’, you can turn up on the day to collect a wristband from any time early morning to midday or until the maximum wristband capacity has been reached. For films on a bigger scale such as ‘Mission: Impossible’ or ‘Justice League’, wristbands are sometimes handed out one day prior to the event as well as on the day of the event due to the crowd expectancies and the high-demand for fans to attend the premiere. If this is the case, the production company may announce how they will proceed on handing out wristbands. REMEMBER to check our website regularly for updates.

What should I take to a premiere?
Going to a premiere can be a long, tiring day but it’s worth-while when you get to meet your fav celebs for free. It’s best to always be prepared, especially in the cold weather – there is rarely ever shelter at a premiere as the carpet is outdoors so make sure you keep warm! You might find it helpful to take a portable charger with you and some food and drink to keep you going throughout the day. Keep your belongings small so you don’t have to worry about it being banned, it’s best to take a small bag and a small camera. Don’t forget to take an umbrella with you because you can never trust the British weather! You shouldn’t take a large camera with you as security can ban them if they think it will obstruct the red carpet or for any other purposes. The same goes with large bags so try to keep it small.

The doors to the cinema will often close around 6:45pm. People will leave the crowd pens around this time. Once the crowd has cleared, the carpet will be rolled back up and the barriers put away. By the time the screening finishes, it will be like the premiere never happened!
