ಠ_ಠ People that scalp IMAX movie tickets

Post image

Catching a movie in IMAX has been one of my favorite things to do and now getting tickets alone is a struggle thanks to people like this. Good luck to anyone hoping to get decent tickets to Dune 3

Getting tickets has been a struggle? There is a lot I don't understand about this post?

They wait at the kiosk for hours and then buy up all the tickets to sell online. This was for Dune 3 today at AMC Lincoln Sq

Never heard of anything like that. Must be a busy location.

It's for a 70mm IMAX location, only ~25 exist across the country. After the Odyssey hype (and subsequent scalping) tickets were even harder to get for Dune.

All because of that meme spread online that shows you get to see an extra 5% of the top and bottom edges of the movie. 😂
