The One Last Party - exciting things planned
|
Can't Post

It's been five days since we launched our indiegogo crowdfunder to make The One Last Party happen, and we're already 20% of the way there! Many thanks to everyone who has already bought a ticket or pledge for a perk! We're busy planning all kinds of exciting things which we hope will take place at the party. This week in London staffer greendragon spoke to many of the cast, who were all thrilled to hear about the special event. Billy Boyd and Jed Brophy have lots of ideas for the live show; Richard Armitage is keen to be there, and Evangeline Lilly even said she might cut into her one week off to be there! We're also hoping to bring a 'Middle-earth experience' to the party, working with New Zealand Tourism and possibly even using Oculus Rift for an incredible virtual reality visit to the Shire. We have grand schemes! BUT we can't do any of this if we don't sell enough tickets for such a party of Special Magnificence. The indiegogo campaign is NOT about raising money for TheOneRing.net - every penny we receive will go towards creating an incredible evening for the fans. Many folks (including some of the cast) have asked us to put on a party, to give everyone a chance to celebrate together - so that's what we're trying to do! We're simply using indiegogo as a way to sell tickets in advance, and also to offer some extra exclusives and other ways to be involved. This extraordinary opportunity to celebrate Peter Jackson's Middle-earth movies will happen IF YOU, the fans, want it. Don't wait to buy your ticket - we will not be selling any tickets outside of the indiegogo campaign. If you'd like to attend a special event on February 21st 2015, in Los Angeles, to celebrate with your fellow fans, to see cast perform on stage, and to enjoy an incredible evening together, buy your ticket now! Click here to see the indiegogo campaign, and to get your ticket so you can join the Fellowship of Fans for The One Last Party.

I attended all but ROTK Plus the conventions so I know it will be an amazing event.

I've never attended a One Ring event, but I want to go to this one. I can't get any of my friends or family to commit to going because of the cost of tickets. I'm kind of phobic about going to a party where I don't know anyone. Does anybody out there feel like a babysitting a fellow Tolkien fan that they've never met? Audrey

I reached out on Facebook and found someone to go with me. So babysitting not necessary. Thank you!

"By Elbereth and Luthien the fair, you shall have neither the Ring nor me!" ~Frodo "And then Gandalf arose and bid all men rise, and they rose, and he said: 'Here is a last hail ere the feast endeth. Last but not least. For I name now those who shall not be forgotten and without whose valour nought else that was done would have availed; and I name before you all Frodo of the Shire and Samwise his servant. And the bards and the minstrels should give them new names: Bronwe athan Harthad and Harthad Uluithiad , Endurance beyond Hope and Hope Unquenchable.." ~Gandalf, The End of the Third Age , from The History of Middle Earth series

I'm also keeping my fingers crossed that this can happen. I've been to only a couple of TORn events (both at this year's SDCC - the Laketown Luau & the TORn panel) and I would love to attend this one. It sounds like a blast!
