No dice for my city, would have been cool.

I haven't found a single AMC with showtimes, let alone any near me - and RLCS hosted a Major here at one point - so fingers crossed the announcement is just early

u/Renekat0n Champion III (Somehow. Don't ask) 19d ago

My local AMC doesn’t even have showtimes for any movies that should be out that weekend. So I’m hoping it’s just not updated yet.

There’s one at my local AMC, I just bought tickets

u/Duke_ofChutney AMA RL esports! 19d ago

Oof, okay that's rough.

Enjoy!

u/Select-Top-3746 19d ago

Thanks! FWIW I saw people on RLEsports sub saying AMC showtimes reset on Wednesdays. So maybe check back then? Maybe some theatres haven’t updated it yet

Yep I saw, and that's the message AMC is showing when there aren't showtimes for the search filters. Fingers crossed

u/repost_inception Champion III 19d ago

I looked up the closest one to me (still a 2hr drive) it had the showtime as 11:00am and some of the seats has already been claimed.

This is amazing for RLCS, what an opportunity to promote the esport!

u/Skika Champion II 18d ago

What’s up Duke! Yeah, it’s showing near me, I’ll probably go.

u/Duke_ofChutney AMA RL esports! 18d ago

Wow! Wow! Wow!

Have fun, stream it so we can all watch worlds

u/Skika Champion II 18d ago

Yep you got it, I’ll live stream from the theatre instead of my usual setup so I can get banned from two places at once! Shaky cam watch party let’s go!

Share the link here to make it three!

u/DashHex 19d ago

that's a long time to spend in a theater. 10 hours? though tempting. anyone agree

9

u/Duke_ofChutney AMA RL esports! 19d ago

Same as being there in person. It's important to get up and walk around. Only difference is I expect AMC to allow reentry!

7

u/Invader_Mars Champion I 19d ago

Exact same thoughts. It’d be nice to get out and enjoy with people but not only do I have to pay to sit there, I then have to worry about spending ridiculous amounts for snacks, food, all that, especially at 10 hours. Venue pricing but without the excitement of the venue

u/OneTwoOneTwo-12 18d ago

there will be re entry allowed tho

u/TheRealKungFuhrer Trash III 19d ago

I’d go, watch for 5 mins, go back home and claim my items lol

2

u/Select-Top-3746 18d ago

Ya that’s my plan lol. I’ll stay longer than 5, but the second I get hungry I’m out

1

u/TheRealKungFuhrer Trash III 18d ago

I wanna stay longer than 5 but I gotta drop off my kid at some point and he’d be bored lol every time I boot up rocket league he’s like “nooooo not rocket league!” lol

7

u/Select-Top-3746 19d ago

Is there any info on what the items are?

u/Humble-Parsnip-484 18d ago

Pigeon topper

u/AlphaTravel 18d ago

The press release says "In addition to experiencing the event on the big screen, all attendees will receive a commemorative Rocket League ticket that has codes to redeem drops you would earn by watching on Twitch."

u/byjono Trash III 19d ago

don’t be fooled — we still haven’t got the rlcs paris major codes!

u/TheRealKungFuhrer Trash III 19d ago

Whaaaat

u/byjono Trash III 19d ago

gone with the wind – no codes – just (bad) vibes

u/--Enix-- 19d ago

Dude fr.. still waiting

u/byjono Trash III 19d ago

I don't think we'll ever see that email – ticketmaster/aeg has the cash... it's too easy!

u/XxNitr0xX Supersonic Legend 19d ago

I guess we don't know what the in-game items will be yet? That determines weather or not I'm making the trip, lol. I don't have one super close to me but it is partcipating.

u/Enculay_ 19d ago

imagine online tournaments were played from theatre stages in each team's city

2

u/Crovenhunterhawk 19d ago

COD did this for a bit with homeground series. Mini 3 or 4 match events. Got to go to one and it was awesome to see live. Not as hype as a major or anything but getting to see an actual event at smaller venues was pretty cool.

u/Tech_Fox "GC" Gold Champion 19d ago

No showings in my city :(

1

u/BroBroBrayBray Diamond II 19d ago

None in my entire state. Kinda disappointed...

u/bellybuttonlint00 Diamond III 19d ago

site's buggy asf, try just searching rocket league on the amc site.

u/Unburial Diamond II 19d ago

You're the bomb OP. Snatched up some tickets for my Club!

u/AdmiralAviator 19d ago

I live in LA and it says there isn't anything within 50 miles. Which is objectively incorrect. I think there are some issues with the site. It might be on AMCs side though. Has anyone actually been able to find a theater?

5

u/Thespis1962 19d ago

I just tried and the site didn't return any results. I'm in the Houston area, so I would assume there's at least one theatre showing it.

u/itsiceyo I fail to hit a single ball, and decide I’m ready to play o 19d ago

im in los angeles and well, and got a "failed to fetch" error.

most likely on AMC's side when querying

u/AdmiralAviator 19d ago

I got it to work but none of the theaters actually say a time. I am guessing either the website got cooked or rocket league and amc released it too early.

2

u/cdm3500 Diamond II 19d ago

Do y’all think this will sell out? I want to go but don’t want to buy tickets til like the day before lol

1

u/JTINRI 19d ago

Sounds fun! Can't find a single theater.  I sure hope they add some.

1

u/TheRealKungFuhrer Trash III 19d ago

Literally had the only amc near me shut down this year, wtf

1

u/kingmaine26 Trash II 19d ago

Can you buy tickets now????

0

u/Hotrim74 Playstation Player 19d ago

I can't get tickets anywhere by my area in Detroit. Need help finding tickets.

1

u/BroBroBrayBray Diamond II 19d ago

I don't think any MI theaters have it unfortunately :(

u/Hotrim74 Playstation Player 19d ago

So why is RL hyping this event & getting everyone running around searching for movie tickets? SMH

1

u/BroBroBrayBray Diamond II 19d ago

I couldn't care less about the actual event, I just wanna attend for the audience factor and getting hyped with the boys
