Thanks to LeakyNews we can report that, due to the ticketing “leak,” ALL fans who purchased tickets to JK Rowling’s Chat with Ann Patchett on October 16th will need to repurchase their tickets to account for the seating at the larger location.  As we previously reported, the event is now being held at David H. Koch Theater.

Your purchase will be refunded and Lincoln Center will be contacting each person with instructions on how to order new tickets.

If you missed it, view the whole series of event information and updates in our original post.

UPDATE: Thanks again to Leaky we have information for fans who purchased via phone or at the theatre:

If you bought your ticket with a credit card they will call you. If you bought it at the box office with a credit card, they will also call you. If you bought your ticket at the box office using CASH, you have to call THEM. Call 212-258-9800 and indicate you have a ticket and a confirmation and paid cash. DO NOT go down to the theater: call instead.

Thanks to Hypable we can confirm that ALL tickets bought for JK Rowling’s event at Lincoln Center on October 16th will be honored. For a full recap on what has happened the past few days, check out the original post. According to Hypable:

We just got off the phone with the Lincoln Center and have solid answers. We were read aloud an internal e-mail stating that the event will move to the David H. Koch Theater at 20 Lincoln Center. ALL tickets purchased September 9 and 10 WILL be honored. The move to the larger theater is to accommodate the larger-than-planned audience. Obviously, you will not have the same exact seat that’s currently noted on your ticket.

As more information is released we will update you!

As we posted last night (and updated throughout the morning,) Lincoln Center started selling tickets for JK Rowling’s Live Chat 12 hours early. Today the venue has commented on the situation by saying:

Due to technical difficulties on the ticketing website, tickets for the J. K. Rowling event on 10/16/12 were made available prematurely at 10 pm on September 9th. Tickets then went on sale at the previously announced time of 10 am on September 10th. Jazz at Lincoln Center is in the process of investigating how this occurred and what arrangements may be made to honor each ticket purchased, and will provide an update as quickly as possible. Neither JK Rowling nor Little Brown and Company are responsible for this situation. Jazz at Lincoln Center apologizes for any inconvenience.

Hypable reports that, through calling the venue directly, “some representatives said that the tickets would be honored, while others were unsure and a few said that the Sunday night purchases were invalid.”  They also report that some seats may have been double-booked.  We will update again as soon as more information is available!

UPDATE 7: Fans will need to repurchase tickets

UPDATE 6: Event moved to new location

UPDATE 5: Lincoln Center Releases Update

UPDATE 4: (10:25) The website now says “We’re Sorry! Tickets are no longer available online for this event. Please contact our box office to get up-to-the-minute ticket availability information.” The numbers for the box office are at the bottom of this post. Keep checking the site though, tickets may keep popping back up throughout the day!

UPDATE 3: (10:20) There is a new purchasing link for the tickets: click here to buy!

UPDATE 2: It is now 10:13 am and I just checked the website to see if tickets were back online. As of right now I am still getting an error message when trying to select tickets. I will keep checking and let you know when they are back. Be sure to follow our Twitter as well for updates!

UPDATE: Thanks to the Little Brown Company (J.K. Rowling’s publisher) we can confirm that tickets will still be available at the Lincoln Center Box office and over the phone, starting at 10am, as we predicted last night. It also seems that they caught on to the glitch last night and stopped offering tickets before the event sold out completely. They should be online at 10am.

Tickets for J.K. Rowling’s chat with Ann Patchett in New York City went on sale 12 hours early, much to fans delight (and dismay for some.) After a little over an hour the tickets are sold out. Though the site says there are 8 tickets left, fans are met with an error when trying to purchase tickets.

Tickets were supposed to be available for purchase from 10am on September 10th.  Fans can only hope that the folks at Lincoln Center reserved a certain number of tickets for those who wanted to purchase by phone or in person at Lincoln Center. About 1200 people can be fit into the Rose Theater, where the event is taking place.

The event will be held at 8pm on Tuesday, October 18th.  During the chat she will talk about her new book, The Casual Vacancy, out September 27th.  She will also be taking a few questions from the audience.  The book is included with your ticket and, according to Fox News, J.K. will be signing copies of the book. As of yet it is not known how this will work.

Were you able to snag tickets?!  Luckily I was able to, but there is another problem with ticketing. Some seat numbers can possibly be in two or even three sections. I am currently trying to find out how fans can figure out whether they are sitting in the Balcony, Mezzanine, or Orchestra section and will update if/when I find out.

A new special entitled J.K Rowling: Life After Potter .is set to air on ABC1 in Australia at 8pm on September 27th, the day her new book The Casual Vacancy is released. Jennifer Byrne will be interviewing Jo as one of the few in her press tour.

“This key interview will be a fantastic opportunity to learn more about J K Rowling’s creative process,” said Matt Hoy, Hachette sales and marketing director. “The evolution of her new novel will be all the more exciting in Jennifer’s hands, given her well-known passion for books and reading.”

Katrina Sedgwick, ABC TV head of arts, said the interview will explore the author’s new novel, as well as her past success. “We are thrilled that Jennifer has been invited to do this interview and has the opportunity talk to J K in depth,” she said.

“This is J K’s first venture into the world of adult fiction and Jennifer will explore what new challenges she has faced in talking to this new audiences. The influence and impact of J K Rowling has been profound in bringing millions of children into the world of literature.”

The publishers of J.K. Rowling’s new book, The Casual Vacancy, have announced a book tour that she will be participating in. Rowling is scheduled to appear on ABC’s Nightline, World News and Good Morning America, as well as The Daily Show with Jon Stewart on Comedy Central. She will also do two print interviews, one USA TODAY.

Publishers have revealed that they are approaching the release of this book differently than in the past with the Potter books. Although those older readers who were with Harry from the beginning are said to be the main audience, the book has a much darker tone that than of Harry Potter.

Set in the little English town of Pagford, The Casual Vacancy (Little, Brown, $35) revolves around an election held after a member of the parish council unexpectedly dies. Despite the Miss Marple terrain, press materials describe the novel as “blackly comic … Pagford is, seemingly, an English idyll, with a cobbled market square and an ancient abbey, but what lies behind the pretty facade is a town at war.”

“I expect the world to be ecstatic at the range of her imaginative reach,” predicts Rowling’s American publisher, Michael Pietsch. One of the few to have read the embargoed book, he calls Rowling “a genius, one of the great writers of all time.” Reading the 512-page novel, he says, “reminded me of Dickens because of the humanity, the humor, the social concerns, the intensely real characters.”

Part of the reason for this is because J.K. Rowling wants to separate this book from the Potter series,

Barnes & Noble vice president for marketing Patricia Bostelman says that Little, Brown’s approach is what the author wants. “Apparently much of their behavior is at J.K. Rowling’s wishes,” says Bostelman. Rowling “has very strong opinions on how she wants publishing of the book handled. … She’s trying not to live on the laurels of Harry Potter and very much wants to have this book stand alone, on its own merit, just as if she were just any other author who was landing on the scene.”

The book will be released on September 27th. They are even releasing an e-book version simultaneously for $19.99.
