That's the million dollar question. The drive in don't let you book tickets, even the online buying doesn't work for Blacktown. They asked me about numbers for staffing reasons (which is why I have asked people to let me know they were coming. Since then the people at Blacktown have told me to expect it to be pretty busy being the first night a car movie is on at the drive in and all. There is a typo on the flyer, gates actually open at 7:30, but I was planning on being there at 7pm anyway to make sure it's all good.... then one of my mates that's coming says he is planning on being there at 6:30...

So looks like I will also be a sucker and be there stupidly early, hopefully will have internet access via iPhone to update this thread then if there is a line of people there already. Hopefully we will have a few people at the front of the line and some idea of numbers (of people in the line) so we can get everyone lined up together where possible. Not sure how that will go, but here's hoping.

I haven't been to the drive in a lot of years, but from what I am hearing early would be better, will see how things go.

Hmmm... Let's see how my luck goes on the night. I'm aiming to leave work at 8pm, and I'll bring a pizza...

Movie starts at 8:30 so technically you have a chance...

If not, just chuck the pizza over the fence

I've never been to the drive-ins, just curious, do you have your car running through the movie??????

Or do you turn off the car and leave it in "accessories" to have the radio going? if so, aren't you worried about flat batteries?

lol

I thought this was on Sunday. BMX racing for me tomorrow night.
If I have any energy left when we are done, I could go hell for leather for Blacktown. Not very likely tho.

Curious about this too; never been to a drive-in!

You tune your radio to whatever station the audio is on, being two fields, make sure you get the right one

As for leaving your car on accessories, depends on your setup, the Mk 3 just needs a key in the ignition, my old Fastback required the car to be in the ON position until I put in a manual switch.

Eitherway they should have a jumper pack or leads for when the worst happens.

I went in my beetle a few years ago when it had no stereo and you can park next to some posts which have speakers which u can bring into your car if your car doesnt have a radio

The drive in's awesome i was there last for a Hollywood movie shoot but cant tell u guys more until it comes to screen due to confidentiality agreement

[The_Hawk]

Rain stopped, looking good

[rayray086]

Will be there by 7:45ish.

Storm starting to blow in now... But with an hour and a half to show time it should be all good
