On the district 5 facebook page(birmingham) it says that the first 100 people in got to b*y the steelbook edition a day early, and 2 people would be picked as tributes for goody bags, and the other tributes just said it was only b*ying the dvd so i dont know what to think :/

Guess since the main draw for the premiere tickets was in oxford street today I guess I didnt get em otherwise im assuming id have been notified by now :(

What did the message say exactly? At Oxford Circus there were 5 goodie bags... And yes the winners for the premiere tickets have already been picked.

I felt quite sorry for the premiere ticket winner at Oxford Street. He had to go on a stage when they called his name and then pose for photos with the Effie lookalike. Poor guy was quite a bit older than the rest of the audience (mostly teenage girls) and seemed quite embarassed.

on the facebook event page for brum it says

At 3pm we'll select two tributes at random, who will each receive a Hunger Games goody bag, and will be entered into the draw which will take place at the Capitol in London.

At the Capitol, a winner will be picked at random, from the tributes, to attend the UK premiere of The Hunger Games: Catching Fire.




I'd show them that to at least get your goody bag

That might be a common theme - I was a little sceptical of The Hunger Games initially (thought it was a sanitised Battle Royale) so I gave some preview tickets to some girls at my school, they said they were confused why every in the cinema was much older than they!
