Lionsgate announced Friday that tickets for The Hunger Games: Catching Fire will be sold via Fandango, MovieTickets.com and other similar websites, beginning Oct. 1 at 12 noon Eastern time.

The Hunger Games was the third-highest-grossing film of 2012 in the U.S., taking in more than $408 million.

Jennifer Lawrence — who plays the heroine Katniss Everdeen, who’s forced to fight for survival in a murderous competition known as the “Hunger Games” — says her character is a whole new competitor in the sequel.

“She is different when she comes back,” the 23-year-old Oscar winner told Vogue. “She does feel more comfortable in the Capitol; she understands the people more, and it’s not as eerie and scary and unfamiliar. She kind of knows how to work the system.”
