All right, so some things seem to be coming together, and other things are still not quite there yet. Here’s the deal:
Multiple sources claim that we’re getting the trailer on the 19th (Monday), during Monday Night Football, and released online immediately thereafter – along with a brand-new logo for the movie!
As for the ticket sales, well, that’s where things get fuzzy. In one update, ScreenCrush says this:
Major U.S. theater chains were provided today with ticketing information on Star Wars: The Force Awakens. We have seen the document, which requires theaters to have all their ticketing information entered into the system by 8:00am ET on Friday, October 16 for release at 12:00pm ET to ticketing web sites (this does not necessarily mean tickets will go on sale to the general public at that time, but that is a pretty solid bet). This includes tickets for both Star Wars: The Force Awakens and the Star Wars Marathon, which will begin with The Phantom Menace at 4:00am on December 17 and end with The Force Awakens later that night at 7:00pm.
But they also say this:
…multiple theater chains are reporting that Star Wars: The Force Awakens tickets will go on sale the same day (10/19), though the time is unclear. Yesterday (10/13), Cinemark accidentally posted an official graphic to one of the international markets announcing the pre-sale, only to pull the information shortly thereafter (‘In the next Monday begins the pre-sale of Star Wars: The Force Awakens at #Cinemark! Run before the Stormtroopers end up with all the tickets.’). In addition, multiple AMC Theaters managers in the United States and Canada have reportedly informed staff of an October 19 pre-sale date, according to users on TheForce.net.
So, still an open question, but a VERY good chance that if you pay close attention to StarWars.com – and Star Wars 7×7, of course! – you’ll be among the first to know.
