Tickets are at Php220 each, but we will be selling at a discounted rate of Php200 for those who will be able to pay on or before the set ticket claiming date (Oct. 20). Each ticket will serve as your pass to the movie, a raffle, and other special events to celebrate the finale of our much-beloved series.

All tickets paid on or before Oct.20 will be charged the discounted rate of Php200 each.

NOTE 2: If you are unable to make it to the claiming date and can’t send a representative, you can still pay the discounted rate of Php200 only if you have sent the ticket payment via our representative bank account. Only deposits before Oct. 20 can avail of the discounted rate. Inform us in your reservation message/email if you wish to pay via bank deposit instead of meet-up so we can send you further instructions.
NOTE 3: If you fail to pay your ticket on the claiming date, you'll have to go through the whole process again and re-send your reservation request via tcppromos(at)gmail(dot)com. Remember that all reservations after Oct. 20 will be charged the regular rate of Php220.

If you have concerns, please post a comment. When posting a comment, please include your name, even if it's just an online nickname; it's not fun answering the questions of several "Anonymous" people. ;)

Reminders for TCP Block Screening Ticket Holders

Here are some reminders for all those who availed of tickets for our Breaking Dawn Part 1 Block Screening:

1. The screening is at 7:35PM (not 7:00PM as we initially announced; Ayala Cinemas changed the sked) of Friday, November 18th, at Greenbelt 3 Cinema 5.

2. We're going to have a raffle before the screening! We're going to give away Breaking Dawn movie posters, Twilight-related books, Esprit watches, and other cool items from our generous sponsors. So make sure you're at the venue 15 minutes before the screening time so that your ticket number will be included in the raffle pool.

3. Although we guarantee that every ticket holder will be seated, the choice of seats is still on a first-come first-serve basis. If it's any consolation, though, all of the seats in Cinema 5 are strategically placed and will likely not cause eye-strain or stiff neck. :P

4. If you're part of the 1st batch of people who claimed their tickets, you likely were issued only the TCP special ticket, since Ayala Cinemas hadn't issued the cinema passes then. You need to claim your cinema passes to be able to enter Cinema 5. Please proceed to the TCP Registration Table outside Cinema 5 and look for a TCP Administrator. We'll be there starting 6:30pm.

5. If you deposited your ticket payments to our bank account and opted to claim your tickets at the venue, please proceed to the TCP Registration Table outside Cinema 5 and look for a TCP Administrator. We'll be there starting 6:30pm.

That's it! Should you have any questions, please leave a comment or send us an e-mail at tcppromos(at)gmail(dot)com. See you!

Twilight Coven Philippines' Block Screening of "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1" is supported by Pioneer Films, Hachette Book Group USA (Phils.) and New Trends International (distributor of Esprit watches).



The TCP Administrators would also like to thank Ayala Cinemas for their assistance.

Rob, Kristen and Taylor's Handprint Ceremony at Grauman's Chinese Theater

The Twilight Trio are finally immortalized in cement! Well, their hand and shoeprints at least, although a Han-Solo-in-carbonite similarity did cross my mind. Anyway, I know some people stayed up late to watch the ceremony, emceed by Jimmy Kimmel. But for those of us who needed our beauty sleep, here's a video of the event on youtube by Clevver TV.

Below is the coverage of Access Hollywood. (Thanks to Rachel Reiss of NBCUNiversal for the link!) 



Looks like Twilighters can now add Grauman's Chinese Theater to their list of Twilight pilgrimage sites.

Summit's Twilight Time Capsule

As the movies for the Twilight Saga are slowly winding down, Summit Entertainment has decided to create an interactive experience shaped around the fans, the reason why the series has become the phenomenal franchise it is today.

It's called the Twilight Time Capsule, a flash-based site that lets people share photos, videos and comments about being part of the huge Twi-fandom. So far, there have been photos of collections of Twilight items, fanvids and lots and lots of tweets on the books and movies.



The site submissions can be organized via timeline (from when the first movie was released in 2008) and incorporates popular social and media networks such as Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, Photobucket and Instagram, so it's easy to post and log in.

Instructions are accompanied by a welcome/demo video narrated by Nikki Reed (Rosalie).
I think it's great that Summit was able to think up a fan-centric site. Kind of wondering how they're going to accommodate all the submissions though, and if they're going to take all the data and seal it under the ground somewhere like a traditional time capsule for future generations to discover. Anyway, you can access the Twilight Time Capsule at www.twilighttimecapsule.com


A Friendly Reminder Regarding "Breaking Dawn" Screenings

It's that time again, Twilighters! "Breaking Dawn Part 1" is just around the corner, and you are probably starting to come across lots and lots of ads for special screenings and promos for the movie.

But before you decide to buy any tickets, please take note of the terms associated with these special screenings and their definitions.

---
A "Premiere" showing of a film is normally sponsored or endorsed by the Official Distributor of the film (in our case, Pioneer/Cinestar Films) or their cinema/merchandising partner. It's usually the first screening of a film in a particular country, and is scheduled before the national opening release date. Tickets to a Premiere rarely go on sale, as the screenings are usually By Invitation (Press / VIPs / special guests). If anyone sells you a "premiere" ticket, verify the authenticity with the cinema where the screening will be held and ask them if tickets are really for sale.

An "Advance Screening" may be sponsored by a cinema or an organization/company, and is usually scheduled a day or two before the opening release date. Tickets to an Advance Screening usually sell for higher than the general admission price, as the organizers normally use these as fundraisers. The rights to screen the film early are also costly.

A "Special Midnight Screening" is normally held by cinemas on midnight of the opening release date. Tickets to these screenings usually cost the same as a regular screening ticket as, technically, you're already paying for a regular screening anyway.

A "Block Screening", such as the one TCP is sponsoring, is normally scheduled during the first regular screening day or throughout the opening weekend. Organizers reserve all the seats in a theater and sell tickets. These are usually company screenings for employees or fundraisers by smaller organizations. Or screenings where a bunch of fans just want the theater all to themselves so they can squee to their hearts' content without anyone judging them. ;)
---

Remember: The Philippine Release Date of "Breaking Dawn Part 1" is Friday, 18 November.

Please take note of the distinctions as some ticket sellers may falsely advertise their events (consciously or unconsciously).

If you come across any ads and want to make sure they are legitimate events, send us the link or details and we can look into them for you. All the promos and ads that we put on the TCP Blog and social networks have been previously verified with credible sources if they weren't sent to us by the legitimate organizers/advertisers.
