Netflix Offers Early Viewing of Stranger Things Season 5 Episode 1 in London

London residents have a unique chance to watch the first episode of Stranger Things season 5 early. Netflix is hosting an exclusive late-night screening of "Chapter One: The Crawl" on November 13, two weeks before the global release.

Screening Details

How to Apply for Tickets

Fans must enter a ticket ballot on ApplauseStore using promo code ST5FANS to be considered. The winners will be chosen randomly, so applicants need to select which screening they prefer and hope for the best.

"It's not as easy as just rocking up on the day or battling it out in a typical Ticketmaster-style queue," Netflix explains.

Applicants must be over 18 and have an active ApplauseStore account before entering the ballot to avoid delays during the process.

For Those Who Miss Out

Fans not selected or outside London need to wait until the official premiere on November 26. The season will follow a three-part release schedule over the next two months.

"Tickets are free, but are ‘extremely limited,’ according to the streamer."

Summary

This exclusive event offers London-based Stranger Things fans a rare early screening opportunity, emphasizing ease of access through a lottery system and the necessity of early registration.
