We were dismayed to hear reports that many ticketholders to the May 20 STAR TREK BEYOND fan event weren’t able to make it into the arena due to overcrowding issues.
For those who scored tickets to the exclusive event, but didn’t make it inside – but you have been heard by none other than director Justin Lin, who promised to make things right for you that night:
@TrekCore we’ll make it right for the fans that didn’t get let in. We’ll make sure they’ll be at the premiere. #StarTrekFan

We’ve heard from the STAR TREK BEYOND team at Paramount, and believe us, this was completely unintended – and they too want to make it up to those fans who wound up stuck on the sidewalk.
Paramount’s team has a record of everyone who received a ticket but didn’t get in, as well as some additional details collected that Friday night from those who were waiting in line outside the studio lot.
Starting at the end of this week, they will be sending out swag bags containing all the goodies that fans who made it through the doors took home – including tickets to the July 20 world-premiere screening and that special Motion Picture-inspired STAR TREK BEYOND poster – to those who weren’t able to get in the May 20 event.
(For clarity: the ‘gold pass’ to the July 20 premiere is only for the BEYOND screening, not a pass to the SDCC convention itself.)
If you were locked out, watch your mailbox starting next week for the special delivery!
