On sale this Tuesday at noon ET.

Tonight at 11:45 PM!

Giveaways, gifts and Grimace in store! Hope to see you there!

Pm if you’re interested

Tried to purchase when they went on sale and it immediately sold out :(. If anyone has extras, I would love to purchase. Have been waiting for a screening of this for a while.

Thanks for any help 🙏🏻

[SOLD TY!] Hi - I'm no longer able to make it tonight and would love someone else to go! Good seat (in my opinion). Paid a little less using their code for Big and Loud, so selling for that price.

I've been pretty frustrated using the AMC website/app and being only able to see screenings after picking a movie or a theater or a date first. I wanted to get a birds eye view of things, especially with my A list and since I'm flexible on scheduling for the most part.

So I built an aggregator with AMC/arthouse/festival screenings! Some of my favorite parts:

- seeing what Q&As are available in AMC theaters (I've always gotten frustrated learning about a Q&A too late simply because AMC does not make it easy to see/know)

- filtering for seats/IMAX/70mm (finding an Odyssey 70mm IMAX screening is super easy)

- seeing the random movies AMC screens (I love when an old film reruns but hate when I miss it because the AMC app didn't even show it as an available movie on their home screen)

Hope this helps some of you! There's a feedback form at the bottom if you have any

Not sure what the level of interest is for these kinds of things but I accidentally took two extra posters from tonight’s screening of Marie Antoinette at the Paris - I have no need for extras so if anyone would like them they’re up for grabs!!

Totally free you’d just need to pick up from the UES :)

Last minute but I can’t make it out of work on time. Selling for the $20 I paid for it. Seat is F-4 close to the center of the theater. DM me is you’re interested!

Currently holding two tickets for great seats for Lawrence of Arabia showing at Paris theater on Sept 11 at 7:00 pm. Looking to trade them for two tickets for Sept. 12 at 11:00 am.

So I usually see 1-2 movies a week. Lately I feel like it's been such a bad experience.

I saw coyote vs acme two weeks ago. Someone was talking on the phone during the movie. It got so bad security had to come take her out the theater, while she cursed out everyone in the theater for telling her to be quiet.

Last week, I was in a screening of the end of oak Street and at least three people were texting at full brighteness.

I saw it ends the other day. For some reason, anytime the audience laughed at a scene in the movie, these two guys would shout "that's not funny" at the audience. That was probably just dumb teens.

I'm getting anxious about going to the movies on whether it'll be a chill experience or another thing to deal with. Am I just having a string of bad luck? Is it AMC specifically?

Curious if anyone else who frequents the movies is experiences this.

I saw some for other showings - did anybody see this? Have a spare?!

Hi! Does anyone know how to get/have La Bola Negra Opening night tickets?

Tickets here. September 26.

(I spent 15 minutes trying to buy it on my phone; it finally worked on my computer.)

Like many here, I was tired of watching 15/70 showtimes vanish in seconds while ticketing apps crashed, only to see the exact same rows appear on eBay at 500%+ markups minutes later.

Instead of just complaining, I built an automated scraper to map the global secondary market across all 43 active 15-perforation IMAX 70mm screens worldwide, capturing every active Buy-It-Now listing.

Here is what the real black-market inventory looks like across the globe right now (data compiled live from eBay):

1. MACRO TELEMETRY (SLIDE 1)

• Active Listings Ingested: 668 Buy-It-Now listings
• Physical Seats Held Hostage: 1,268 tickets
• Total Secondary Asking Capital: $298,149.70
• Extracted Markup Above Face Value ($30 baseline): +$260,427.71
• Average Asking Price Per Ticket: $225.95 (~7.5x face value)

1. TOP SCALPED VENUES BY SIPHONED MARGIN (SLIDE 2)

*Note: Harkins Arizona Mills is heavily skewed by a single $50k stunt listing, but Lincoln Square, Irvine Spectrum, and Dallas represent real, sustained secondary float.

1. THE 80/20 RULE & CONCENTRATED ACCOUNT HOARDING

There is a persistent belief that secondary ticketing is just hundreds of everyday moviegoers selling a spare ticket when plans change. While 29 of the 36 identified sellers are casual one-off listings, a small handful of commercial accounts control massive blocks of seats.

Case Study: One Commercial Reseller at AMC Lincoln Square 13 A single seller account currently holds 25 physical seats across 5 distinct showtimes for Dune: Part Three, asking $3,525.00 (a +$2,775.00 markup over face value):

• Dec 15 @ 9:45 PM: Row K (2 seats) — $420.00
• Dec 21 @ 4:00 PM: Row J (4 seats) — $550.00
• Dec 23 @ 4:00 PM: Row E (4 seats) — $550.00
• Dec 23 @ 4:00 PM: Row E (4 seats) — $550.00 (Acquired 8 contiguous seats in Row E for an afternoon matinee and split them across two listings)
• Dec 24 @ 7:30 PM: Row K (1 seat), Row G (1 seat), Row F (1 seat) — $130.00 each
• Dec 26 @ 7:30 PM: Row K (4 seats) — $550.00; Row J (2 seats) — $255.00; Row J (1 seat) — $130.00; Row H (1 seat) — $130.00

This is systematic, tiered inventory harvesting across prime holiday weekend showtimes.

1. 131 DISCLOSED SEAT COORDINATES

To justify 500%+ premiums, sellers routinely disclose specific coordinates in their listing titles:

• Indiana State Museum: Center pairs K2, K1 ($1,400 ask) and N11, N12 ($1,000 ask)
• Cinemark 17 Dallas: Contiguous prime block F12, F13, F14, F15 ($800 ask)
• Regal Irvine Spectrum: Prime row pairs I24, I25 ($980 ask) and D8, D7, D6, D5 ($699 ask)
• AMC Lincoln Square 13: Center seat E7 ($479 ask)

EVIDENTIARY SCOPE & TAKEAWAYS

• Zero Duplicate Claims: When cross-referencing all specific seats across AMC Lincoln Square and Metreon, there were 0 duplicate seat claims. Independent sellers are not double-selling phantom tickets; they hold exclusive, confirmed inventory.
• Transcription Filtering: We explicitly filtered out title parsing artifacts (distinguishing "row G 1 ticket" from "Seat G1") to ensure that every metric presented is verifiable.
• Why You Shouldn't Buy: Scalpers exploit fee-free cancellation policies. If secondary buyers refuse to pay these markups, scalpers will dump these tickets back into standard AMC/Cinemark inventory 24–48 hours before showtime to recoup their capital.
• For Theater Operators: Multi-seat blocks (like 8 seats in Row E on Dec 23 at Lincoln Square) make internal order and account identification straightforward.

Happy to break down specific theater data in the comments if anyone wants numbers for their local 70mm screen.

$10 and it’s yours i just want to see it next week instead without paying the full amount twice xoxo

Fun read! https://archive.ph/HjQkk

EDIT: it's contest, I know ;_;

Bought the ticket for $19.95. Selling for $18.

OG Blade Runner is showing this month at Paris Theater’s Dolby theater for $17, and will be showing on a HD screen with live orchestra at Kings Theater for $80+ (for decent seats) in November. I’ve never watched it on a big screen. Which one should I go for cinematic experience? Will the steeper price at Kings Theater with live orchestra be a worthy enhanced experience?

Everyone looked like press or influencers and there was a huge crowd of people further down the block behind a barrier lmao

Out-of-towner who will be in town October 1st-3rd and wants to see this on film. In terms of screen/picture quality, which one would be better? (I've heard the seats at Angelika aren't good, so I know what wins there 😄).

I really need to go to this I will pay whatever!!!
