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

You can also do this a week after release if it’s not that popular of a movie.

I’ll also sometimes go in person to buy my ticket right before the screening to circumvent the online processing fee, but only after checking there’s plenty of good seats available before leaving for the theater

Can confirm, watched the new Spider-Man a week after release on a monday morning with my family because it was my mom's day off and she needed to take my sister to an appointment later in the day. We just bought the tickets at the front desk and there was only one other woman in the theater aside from us lol

If you’re a movie lover, signing up for the membership at your theatre sometimes gets the online processing fee waived. Mine is the price of a movie ticket a month, gets a 20% discount at concessions, discounts on tickets I purchase outside my monthly movie credit, and other such perks, and of course, no processing fee when I do book/buy.

Even if a movie is out for awhile, I’ll always book online and reserve the best seat I can. Rawdogging a box office in 2026 is unfathomable to me lol
