Someone actually put up their TCL Chinese theatre tickets in Los Angeles on sale on Ebay for $500.
6pm show on the 25th. Just because it's Hollywood.

Scalping movie tickets. So fucking stupid and a waste of time.

Given today's ticketing clusterfuck, I wonder if there is any chance theaters oversold seats? I wonder if it's possible with their ticketing system.

I plan to get there early to claim my assigned seat and have my email confirmation with timestamp on hand in case there are issues.

Advance ticket sales of “Avengers: Endgame” have broken first-day records — with the demand so great that it caused delays for many would-be purchasers.
Online ticket seller Fandango reported Tuesday that the fourth “Avengers” movie topped its first-day U.S. sales record (previously held by “Star Wars: The Force Awakens”) within the first six hours of pre-sales. Advance tickets went on sale on Fandango Tuesday at 5 am PT.
“Avengers: Endgame” also set a new record for the best first day of sales in less than half a day at Atom Tickets, the company said. It has outsold the previous record, set by “Aquaman,” by four times the amount.
AMC Theatres saw its website unable to process orders for several hours, tweeting on Tuesday, “We want everyone to be able to grab their ‘Avengers: Endgame’ tickets, but it looks like we’ve gotten Thanos’ snap. We’re working on getting things back up and running, and in the meantime, please keep trying our website and our partner sites!”
AMC announced around 1:30 pm PT that its site was back up, but noted that its mobile app wasn’t working.
The Alamo Drafthouse chain also posted an apology on its site for delays in purchasing tickets: “We’re so sorry, y’all. If you’re reading this right now, then you probably had a pretty frustrating experience trying to purchase your ‘AVENGERS: ENDGAME’ tickets this morning. We love these movies as passionately as you do, and we hate to see your enthusiasm get tempered by technical problems. Thanks for stickin’ with us. Looks like things are back up and running like normal and we’ve put together a team of IT superheroes to ensure this type of thing doesn’t happen again.”
“Avengers: Infinity War” set the North American record a year ago for top domestic opening with $257.7 million during April 27-29, topping the 2015 mark held by “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” by nearly $10 million.
“The overwhelming demand is what’s caused this temporary problem,” noted Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst with Comscore. “There would not be a problem with a movie that only a few people wanted to see.”

Cinemark has been down since around 8:30 this morning. Somehow I got an order through for two tickets right before the entire site crashed. It was still acting funky as hell. Most couldn't get past the seat selector page from what I hear.
Right when I was giving up and I tried to exit out of my browser I wound up on the confirm order/credit card page and got tickets.

Got my tickets for 6PM Thursday this morning, and 11AM on Saturday for IMAX a couple of minutes ago. Probably gonna do one Dolby Cinema the week after and that's it.

Bought a pair of tickets for the 7:15PM Screening on Thursday, 4/25/19 at a local theater.
Was able to reserve my seats. A little surprised there were still 2 left in the top row in the theater, considering all of their other Screenings have sold through extremely well.

Ha, same with me! I have no idea how, but after 45 minutes of trying, I'm going to see it at a Dolby Cinema at noon on Friday in the seats I always sit in.

See the thing for me is spoilers. It's the biggest event movie in recent memory. The culmination of 22 movies and 10 years. Probably only The Force Awakens can compare with this and similar to that movie I knew I wanted to see it on the first showing because I knew that characters are likely going to die. Plus I'm picky and want to see it in the best theater in the best seat as I can.

Our local recliner theater is still having trouble with its online sales, didn’t even go on sale until 10:30 last night. I'm going over this morning to purchase directly from the box office.

Avengers crashed Cineplex site in Canada as well. Thankfully, before that happened, my gf snagged us opening night. Phew.
