Just in from ABC, a few more details on the advance screening of the “LOST” final season premiere on Waikiki Beach on Jan. 30. As in 2006, they will indeed be showing only the first hour of the two-hour episode, and adding on the pilot of another show.

I heard a rumor that you have to buy tickets to the event. Can anyone confirm or deny? I plan on surfing at the wall all morning until it’s time to grab a seat… can’t wait!

woo woo! can’t wait! thanks for the offical deets!

Planet Hollywood says it has been canceled – can anyone confirm?
4 Ryan // Jan 16, 2010 at 3:44 pm
Haven’t heard anything like that. How is Planet Hollywood involved at all? They used to host viewing parties in Waikiki. Maybe that’s what’s canceled?

“which you will be able to interview the cast and producers of “LOST.””
Interesting; only the press, I’m guessing? The rest of us will have to snap shots from further away?

If it’s set up like last year, Cal, the ‘red carpet’ is along the south/ocean side of the VIP area, so the cast passes between a line of press on one side, and a mass of fans pressed up against the fence on the other. For best results, have a zoom lens!
7 Bill // Jan 18, 2010 at 12:27 am
Ryan, what is the attire for the “feast on Friday”?
8 Ryan // Jan 19, 2010 at 1:20 pm
Bill, it should be aloha casual. It’ll be poolside, overlooking Waikiki beach, so it’s definitely not formal! See you there!
9 Marvin // Jan 20, 2010 at 12:28 pm
Wish I could join.
But yeah, that’s hard for someone from the Netherlands…
10 Nathan // Jan 20, 2010 at 6:32 pm
Ryan, for fans who want to get pictures/autographs, is there a time you recommend getting to the beach to get a spot in line or is this even necessary?
My family and I are going to be in Oahu and we would love to see the cast extra but not sure about how it works/logistics. Any tips?
11 Adrian // Jan 21, 2010 at 12:23 pm
I wish I could be there, I love my LOST! Of course I wouldn’t mind being in Hawaii either :)
12 jessika // Jan 21, 2010 at 1:50 pm
Aloha. i am in a wheelchair (scooter) where do i go for a view?? Any ideas?? Thanks. Jessika
13 Ryan // Jan 21, 2010 at 6:52 pm
Nathan, in years past, the “red carpet” was inside the VIP area but against the right side, facing the ocean. Basically the public will be competing with a throng of reporters and cameras on the inside, but you never know! Folks started staking it out by noon, perhaps earlier this year given the greater anticipation. Good luck!
Jessika, I’d contact the city, possibly the parks department. I’m certain there’ll be accommodations for wheelchairs, but I’m not familiar with the details.
14 jessika // Jan 23, 2010 at 8:15 am
thank you so much. i’ll do that today. (^_^) MAHALO – jessika

Hi Ryan, where is the best place to park (within walking distance)? Oahu resident here planning to make a day of it in Waikiki :)
22 Ryan // Jan 30, 2010 at 6:23 am
Jessika, sorry to hear that. There’s a boardwalk set up on the sand but they’ll likely keep it clear. Your best bet might be to get comfy on ‘The Wall,’ concrete pier that sticks out into the water parallel to the screen.
chgo lost fan: We should be easy to spot with our ‘Hawaii LOST Fan Club’ T-shirts!
athena: I wish I knew! We’re staying in a hotel to avoid that particular problem. They’ve blocked off the parking at the Kapiolani Park Bandstand and Shell… but you may get lucky around the park itself. Otherwise, it’s the residential areas on the hill if you’re going for free!
23 Karl // Jan 30, 2010 at 6:38 pm
Did anyone video it or stream it?
24 Aloha Tony // Feb 1, 2010 at 2:59 pm
I have a bunch of close up pictures with the cast, like right in their faces. you wanna post some Ryan? Or do you have a bunch?
25 Ryan // Feb 1, 2010 at 3:04 pm
If they’re your photos, you should post them! Watermark ‘em if you’re worried about ‘em getting republished. I’d love to see them!
26 Lucia Malla // Feb 2, 2010 at 1:45 pm
Hey, Ryan, my pics from the beach premiere are on my blog. Including one my husband took of us talking.
