Tom Petty.Com are excited to announce several great opportunities regarding Peter Bogdanovich's epic film, Runnin' Down A Dream. 


Two years in the making, Runnin' Down A Dream digs deep in order to reveal the combination of unwavering talent, artistic vision, and sheer persistence that has made the Heartbreakers' thirty-plus year run possible. The film features in-depth interviews with Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers, and the circle of musicians, friends and collaborators who came into the band's orbit over the years. 


A celebration of what can happen when artists are given the chance to explore the depths of their own talent, Runnin' Down A Dream is the story of an artistic victory unlike any other.

^ No worries Lynette! I got my SF show ticket! :041:
And I already pre-ordered the DVD/CD a few days ago. But I'm also going to buy it the day it's released just for safe measure. It will be nice to have an extra copy to save for collection.

Bad news for me - still no Houston dates for the film, and the Austin and Dallas ticket links aren't working. On top of that, I pre-ordered the DVD set and the poster, and I received an email from FanFire today that both of those items are on back-order, probably about four weeks. No biggee on the DVD, I was planning to buy a second copy at Best Buy. But I sure wish they would add a Houston theater for the 10/15 showing!!!

^ That is just typical! :icon_neutral:

I bought my ticket for the Gainesville showing today. Ellyn had to help me find the link because it wasn't working either. I bought it direct from the theater. Maybe you can get it that way.

What night are you going to Marion?
It's playing the 15th & 16th. However On Monday the 15th I have
Jacob's Flag football Game I'm Coaching. I could go to the game and
then miss the first part of the show (heck it's 4 hours long).
I don't know about the 16th cuz I can get it at Best Buy and hang at
home and Watch it.
I may try to go on the 15th if others are going.

I bought a ticket for the 15th. I'll probably work on Monday and drive up after. I just really want to see it on the big screen if I can.

Not sure about Austin, but try this link for Dallas:

Oh, and if you do come to Dallas, let me know and maybe we can meet up!:)

^ Yes, the Dallas link started working later in the day. Austin still was not working at 7:00 p.m. Tried linking directly to the theater. No luck with getting tickets - their calendar or the ticket company's was not updated yet for 10/15. I will try calling them tomorrow.

Yes, Barnburner, if I decide to make the trip to Dallas, I will let you know.
