The Ohio Sci-Fi and Horror Marathons

Drexel went non com last year. They aren't in a captialist mood as of right now. As a not for profit the theater just need enough,green to say in the black.

BTW when will the tickets go on sale?

I'm not 100% certain yet that I'll be able to attend, either. I'm gonna work on it, and see if I can get free that weekend.

Okay, it's been nearly a month (4 weeks precisely) since the date was announced, and we're now only about a month away (5 weeks exactly) (ain't I a stinker?) from the marathon.

We really ought to be hearing something about ticket sales soon, I would hope. I've got a couple new folks lined up for the marathon this year, but I'm afraid I'll lose them if we can't finalize our plans soon.

Anyways, if we don't hear something in the next week, I'm going to start going all chicken little.

Same here my brother inlaw is in Philly but is interested in coming out. I wish I had something to tell him...

In my opinion that it wouldn't surprise me it should be at the last week of April. Two weeks or a week before the marathon is when the schedule be posted.

If you can't wait, the Marvel Avenger films marathon has expanded to Cleveland and elsewhere. See the Camera Obscura thread.

Looks like I'll be able to make it, after all! Yay! See you all there!

Just talked a long term Cleveland Marathon attendee to go with me to Columbus, so the two of us will be driving down.
Any chance that it will be sold out? Asking because don't want to buy tickets ahead unless really necessary as a family emergency (83 year old stepmom) could come up.
Also, how far ahead do they let people come in? I am not fussy about seating, but am willing to get there early if needed to insure some choice.
Cheers from Cleveland.

It's not very likely that tickets will sell out in advance. That used to be the case once, but it hasn't been a serious risk in several years.

It varies from year to year - some years we've been let into the theatre as early as 10:30. Other years, it's been noon on the dot before they let us in. If you show up by 9, you'll be close enough to the front of the line to have some say in where you sit.

The die hards will get there before seven am. Heck wouldn't be surprise if people camp overnight. I'll be there around six thirty am.

A suggestion Pogo, if you get to the Drexel early try to get seats that are close to the theater wall. For the past two years I gotten one of these seats. You don't have to worry about people spilling food and drink.

Thanks for the advice AE &WC.
Don't know my fellow traveler's schedule, but if it's up to me I'll probably get there at about 10:00.
I tend to like either aisle seats or something that allows me to get up without disturbing others. I can get restless.
In Cleveland I am a very early arriver so that I can get prime sleeping bag space on the stage. Not a Columbus option.
See ya.
Cheers from Cleveland.
