Hey Gleeks! Yes, for anyone who forgot, they announced a theatrical release of Glee: The 3D Concert Movie in theaters this summer, which means we get to mention it every so often. They’ve announced special “sneak” showings of the 3D concert movie just two days before it opens in theaters on August 12th. The special screenings will take place in 291 theaters around the US (and Canada) and will include huge gift packs as well. Tickets for the event go on sale here starting July 13th, which is today, so you can head over and buy some if you’re a crazy Glee fan and want to be there with all the other Gleeks watching this together.

Ticket holders for these special screenings will get a merchandise packet created especially for the event, including a GLEE logo lapel pin, commemorative ticket and lanyard, silicone bracelet, hat, commemorative GLEE RealD 3D glasses, and backpack. A backpack?! Holy crap, right? If you’re interested, visit Facebook orgleeksneak3d.com, where you can find more info and book your tickets ($30!) for the early screening events. Otherwise, if you’re a regular Glee fan and you can wait to see this in theaters, it’s only two days after. We haven’t seen the trailer for this yet, so we don’t have anything else to sell it with. Anyone going?
