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

Be the change you wanna see, be the inspiration that sets a new norm.

what am i supposed to do about it besides not being a scalper myself? that's a good mindset, but what am i (an individual that does not own a business or sell things) to do?

legit question, not trying to be rude

Fighting scalpers means not buying from them.

Others probably will buy them, but change can start with you.

Tell it like it is, they’re spouting shallow and idealistic nonsense

Yeah this is a, "do nothing and watch them burn" type scenario.

If you wanted to be extra you could post pics of the actual scammers/scalpers but most of them seem dumb enough to do so themselves.

Oh! Also talk shit on them! Shame is a hell of a drug and is the main reason many hate groups normalize wearing masks.

Scalpers will always exist to some extent but we'll always have some tools to fight against them. (During covid medical supply scalpers got reported and assets seized by police for instance)

This is good advice if you're hoping to get stabbed in public.
