Details on how to attend the premiere:  They're looking for real fans to attend this premiere, so the first 200 fans to line up and bring a copy of The Host: A Novel will get free admission to the premiere!  Also, the first 70 fans to arrive will also have access to a VIP fan viewing area.  Fans will be allowed to start lining up at 2:00 p.m. on the southeast corner of Sunset and Ivar.

While fans will be allowed to begin lining up at 2:00 p.m., I highly recommend arriving earlier to scope out the area.  Many fans are going to be attending and any advantage can help you get in to the premiere tonight.  Some who arrive late may also try to worm their way into line, so keep an eye out on those trying to cut.  That could cost you your opportunity to make it in the premiere.  Security will handle those cutting in line if it's brought to their attention.
