Apparently, the New York premiere of ‘Sex and the City’ was not all fashion and Swarovski crystals as previously noted. There were many, many people turned away and it caused quite a scene.
‘Sex and the City’ New York Premiere - Part II
The debut of the film in New York took place at Radio City Music Hall, which seats 6,000 people. Officials are estimating that approximately 2,000 people were turned away after the hall was full. Fans received the tickets through promotional giveaways authorized by New Line Cinema.
The mostly female crowd surged against police barricades, cursing and stomping in their stilettoes at the cruel turn of events.
It’s not like the fans didn’t show up early to get their spot in the “first come, first server” line.
They gave out all these tickets just to make a big scene. It’s not right. It’s not fair. I’m very disappointed,” said Heather Dispresso, 20, of Long Island who had waited in line for three hours only to be turned away.
She wasn’t the only one with a sob story to tell. But after it’s all said and done, the people who didn’t see the movie may get the last laugh. So far the reviews aren’t that favorable. If you’ve seen the film, tell us what you think.
