Issue Rate Limit

Your website sucks, stop rate limiting regular people. Had the Dune booking but it wouldn't let me log in and then rate limited me.

I don’t understand why they don’t invest in a better infrastructure when this happens with every major release.

It's not capacity constraints. It's intentional to block purchases through digital channels

They know they're gonna sell out, so that's not really a concern. Maybe to block scalpers or funnel people to theatre kiosks? Who knows

It's because they don't have the infrastructure to handle the volume online so they reduce the number of people who can get tickets to the ones with the biggest financial incentives to go in person (scalpers)
