Hi, Lady! I am sooo jealous of you right now. I've really no reason to be as I can't get the time off anyway. Besides, it's only fair - you flew down for Starfury.
Stay shiny!

Anyone seen signs of Pixel? there seams to be a few regulars who are miussing that would surely like to know about all this.
unfortunetely Petit_rhino is still up in the shetlands and I think may be leaving before the premier. she`s not easily contactable 
I`m goingf to try my damdest to get tickets, but as it`s in the middle of a work day and I will be winging my way to Torquay it will be quite difficult (although not totally impoossible)

p.s. the problem after getting a ticket(s) is hotel or guesthouse accomodation - it`s not cheap and there`s bound to be quite a few places already booked up.

Oooh, this is exciting. Severely tempted to book tickets just on the off chance that things work out that allow me to go. I do know the odd person in Scotland that might let me crash at their place. That or take the "when in Rome" approach and just drink my way through the night.
Also of peripheral interest is the fact that Kinky Boots is also being shown at the festival, starring one Chiwetel Ejiofor. Certainly a change of pace for him and the film is currently scheduled to be opening oppposite Serenity in November.
Interestingly, the site has a "show me films like..." option, presumably to let you make random choices but still in genre. One of the films listed is Blade Runner. No, Serenity isn't linked to that one. Instead it is linked to 'The Silence of the Lambs'. Um...
Plus a little warning; the description of the movie gives spoilerish hints. Best just to go straight to booking. On July 15th. After I have booked. Yeah.

Yeah, I lurk here a lot more than I post, but I'd like the chance to run into a few people to add faces to names!

Cost of movie ticket : 7.50
Cost of return train ticket : 18.00, and >2.5hrs each way
Cost of hotel (1 night) : ~50.00?, if find someone to share?
That's a lot of money and effort for one film, but I am SO tempted. Hopefully all the movie tickets will have gone before I get one!

I am so excited about this! I am even online in the morning, just to make sure noone went and put the tickets on sale early... look, does everyone want to just hold off booking on Friday till I get my tickets? Just for an hour or so?!
Seriously, if anyone is thinking about coming up to Edinburgh for the event, accomodation costs should be factored in: the city and surrounding area are always fully booked for the festival - often years in advance. I work in tourism, and have heard stories about people showing up in Edinburgh, going to the tourist office looking for accomodation and being told the nearest hotel with rooms is in northern England. This is the biggest festival in Europe, if you count everything in it. Accomodation is probably still available (just), but prices could be high - all discounts are probably out, and anyone with a flat/room to lease for the month of August makes up for the enormous disruption to their city by charging extortionate prices. There are even landlords who specialise in renting accomodation just for the festival.
Incidentally, if Misters J. Whedon or N. Fillion or any of their close friends are looking for a place to crash, I can offer a sofa-bed :)
