If we have to go, you know we're going to go out in style. The first ten years of the Alamo have been absolutely amazing for all of us involved, and we can only hope that they've been at least half that great for all of you. There are so many people who have so many memories wrapped up inside this building that June 27th is sure to be an emotional night for us all. But before we get all weepy about it, we're going to throw one last party and when all's said and done, we'll even let you take your seat home with you so you can have a piece of Alamo history with you forever and ever. Tickets for "Last Night at the Alamo" go on sale on May 27.

9:45pm: EARTHQUAKE in Sensurround
You know when you were a teenager and you got to get behind the wheel of a car with no parents for the very first time and you just wanted to get out to the middle of nowhere so you could push the gas down all the way and see if that Toyota Corolla could really hit the 120 mph mark that was on the speedometer? That's kind of how we've been feeling about the theater... We want to see just how much she can take. We're going to find out with EARTHQUAKE, the quintessential 1970s disaster movie about when the big one finally hit L.A. If we turn up the sound, can we make the building rumble? There's really only one way to find out! Before digital projection, EARTHQUAKE was the last great gimmick to entice people back to the theatrical experience. We will be lovingingly recreating this gimmick by augmenting our sound system with 50,000 watts of subwoofer power. Special thanks to Philippe Spurrell!

Tickets for all of these events will go on sale on May 27, one month away from the "Last Night at the Alamo." We'll be releasing tickets in chunks, with the first batch to go on sale being triple feature sets that include a wrench to take your seats home with you at the end of the night as well as a special commemorative poster, then triple feature tickets that don't include a seat (seats come two to a leg), then, if there are any left, we'll release tickets to individual shows. Tickets will be available online starting at 1pm on May 27, but they'll also be available at the box office at the Downtown theater itself starting at noon that morning. When they're gone, they're gone. Forever. We'll see you there. Stay tuned to this website for information about our new home, Alamo Drafthouse at the Ritz, tentatively scheduled to open in September.

We'll be opening up tickets at the box office Downtown at noon on Sunday, then opening up online ticket sales at 1pm. Tickets for the full on triple feature will be $225 and will include the six course feast with matching wine during Big Night, the seat you're sitting in and a hand-silkscreened commemorative poster. Double feature tickets for EARTHQUAKE and NIGHT WARNING will be $85. For Heroes of the Alamo members and Fantastic Fest badge holders, tickets are $200 & $70 respectively. Alamo Heroes and Fantastic Fest badge holders get priority ticketing at noon on Sunday when tickets open for sale. Individual tickets may be available at the door night of the show.

All of these proceeds will then go straight into the Ritz construction fund so we can try to push that along and open the doors there with a gala opening night celebration just as soon as possible.

Kid Policy: 18 and up; Children 6 and up will be allowed only with a parent or guardian. No children under the age of 6 will be allowed.
