Celebrate a Night of Big Hair, Shoulder Pads and Soft Rock with
Seminal ‘80s Film St. Elmo's Fire
CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Groupon (NASDAQ: GRPN)(http://www.groupon.com)
today announces its first movie night at Nationals Park in Washington,
D.C., with the 1985 classic, St. Elmo's Fire, on Thursday, Nov.
8. Moviegoers will enjoy the first time a movie has ever been screened
on the field with an evening of over-the-top ‘80s indulgence, including
an ‘80s cover band performance, giveaways and a big hair station with
coiffeurs standing by to help attendees achieve maximum volume.
Tickets for Groupon's Nationals Park Movie Night are available for
purchase today.
On sale at http://www.groupon.com/washington-dc,
subscribers can choose from the following options (prices include all
taxes and fees):
-
$15: One ticket for outfield stadium seats
-
$38: Bar package that includes unlimited beer and wine from 5:30 p.m.
to 7:30 p.m. at the Scoreboard Walk—discounted food will be available
for purchase
-
$75: VIP package that includes one VIP ticket for field seating and
unlimited beer and wine from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at the Lexus

Attendees are encouraged to sport their best ‘80s fashions: Guys, break
out those parachute pants and acid washed jeans you've been keeping
under your bed for the past 20 years. Ladies, stirrup pants and
oversized off-the-shoulder sweatshirts are welcome, along with your neon
leg warmers. Those with big enough ‘80's flair—hair sprayed coifs, giant
dangling earrings and mullets—could be rewarded by St. Elmo's Fire
cast lookalikes roaming the stadium.
St. Elmo's Fire follows a tightly knit group of recent Georgetown
University graduates who face their "freshman year of life." Set in
Washington, D.C., the 1985 film stars many of the original "Brat Pack,"
including Emilio Estevez, Rob Lowe, Andrew McCarthy, Demi Moore, Judd
Nelson, Ally Sheedy and Mare Winningham.
Ballpark gates open at 5:30 p.m. D.C.'s own ‘80s cover band, The Reflex,
will be pumping out the jams. The movie goes live at 7:30 p.m. and food
and beer will be at prices discounted from game day rates.
