Part of me is happy for them and part of me really hates to see stupidity rewarded like that.
 
The Chinese theatre has reserved seating.

These guys are making a play to get into the Premiere, which is being held right there at the TCL + El Capitan on Monday (and maybe even the Dolby Theatre?)

Eh they probably were in the Dolby - whereas the cast and VIPs were in El Capitan or TCL.

But still, see it three days early and going to the after party? Bangin
