Have I missed my chance, or are they not selling tickets in the US until this evening?

Apparently they officially go on sale after the trailer, which is airing at halftime during Monday Night Football. People have estimated that to be at around 7:30PST.
Without preordering? Will be a big gamble. You can preorder for the full first two weeks tonight.
Biggest theatre chain here is doing 13 screenings a day across 3 screens on opening day (wednesday 16th)... Haven't seen that with any other movie. From 9:45 to 22:45 there's a screening every hour. Don't know how that compares to US standards, but for Belgium this is a lot.
hm, they have SOME theaters showing up for me. but its missing a lot (or maybe not everyone is doing advanced tickets?)

Different vendor, maybe. The Alamo near me doesn't show up on movietickets but they do on Fandango.

Depends on the theater, timing, etc. If you're in a major city looking for a seat at primetime on Saturday? No chance. If you're in the middle of Idaho looking to catch a matinee - you'll likely be okay.
But don't bother risking it. Throw down your cash now, alleviate all worries. Fandango even does refunds now, so it's a minimal risk purchase.
They don't usually do it at the very same time as others. However, it is probably the theater to sell out the quickest. My best advice would be to sign up for their newsletter. They usually email promptly.
At the top of the screen there is a SIGN UP FOR IMAX UPDATES.
I'm closer to the IMAX at Jordan's in Reading. You bet your ass I'm looking for first night tickets at that theater!

Ok fuck Odeon BFI Imax.
I ordered 7 tickets at Leicester Square Empire.
Row E better be fucking far enough back.

Wow, is the Odeon site still taking a beating?
Same! They've sold out in 20 minutes, I'm glad I was watching the clock.
I also recommend for people in the area to check the Providence IMAX if you are mobile. They use movietickets.com and are likely to go up more promptly. They also do assigned seating.
Natick/Reading/Providence are the only non LieMax theaters in the area FYI

It isn't. At least I don't think it is. Their servers or w/e are clearly in some sort of "State of Emergency" mode and haven't been turned back to normal. I doubt they are getting as pumelled as the morning.
I got to the payment a few times and it never went through. I should have just decided to do the Leicester Square earlier.
Just need reassurance that Row E will be ok and I will rest easy.

The hype is off the charts. Which cinema did you choose?

Booked my tickets for here in Ireland earlier today, get to see it at 00:01am on the 17th, and paid 0 for the ticket cause of rewards points ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I'm in Adelaide, so Marion. Not sure how I'm gonna go at work the next day, but that's a problem for future me.

Was stuck trying to book tickets on my mobile and missed out on midnight 17th tix. In a way I'm glad as I'd much rather not be tired as fuck... but still. 
Got tix for opening day evening.

I wonder how big Ep. VII's opening weekend will be after tonight alone. The presale from this will likely dwarf most of 2015's OWs.
Awesome. Totally, I've never done a midnight screening before, so I dread the state I'll be in the next morning

IMAX Sydney's site crashed so tix only became available 50 mins after they were supposed to.

Miami gaf got info for Kendall regional and the marathon. So the marathon will air the day before on dec.16th starting at 4am but it won't have episode 7, you get a ticket for the following day to see it. It will cost $50. They can't say when tickets go on sale, corporate activates it. There will be reserved seating for IMAX and RPX.

Wait, the marathon doesn't conclude with an airing of Episode VII? Doesn't that defeat the entire purpose?

Not In this theater apparently, it's supposed to. I assume most will have them on the 17th.

UK tickets went on sale, US tickets go on sale sometime during Monday Night Football.
oh thank fuck, thought I would be out of luck for a second.
Anyone know where we can preorder them? Is it fandango? I've never done a preorder before but I know my local theater does sell tickets via fandango.

Fandango, Movietickets.com, Tickets.com (some IMAX, like my Udvar Hazy theater). So, a couple places depending on who their dealer is.

Fandango will be doing early sales, keep an eye on this thread for when it goes live.
It'll definitely be up on Fandango. Just keep an eye on this thread. I know I am.

I was trying from about 7:55 and finally got my tickets at 8:45. I knew it was going to buckle being the only IMAX in the area. I only wanted the opening week though so Saturday at 6pm it is! 2nd to back row too so viewing will be ideal.
