Tenzil Wise Beyond the Years Location: Vancouver Posts: 1078 My Collection	Posted: April 3, 2019 1:52:48 am In case you hadn't noticed Avengers Endgame tickets went on sale yesterday. Many of the local theatres have now sold out almost every show for Thursday, Friday and Saturday of opening weekend (the only tickets available for now, at least around here). We scored ours in our favorite seats at prime time on the best evening for us, but if I had waited another day there would have been no chance. This is a phenomenon for movies like I have never seen. This has to be the most anticipated theatrical release of all time! Everybody got yours? Tenzil
Rapha1978 Comic Guru Location: North Carolina Posts: 939 My Collection	Posted: April 3, 2019 9:51:28 am I'll probably wait until a week or two has passed before going to see it. Overcrowded theaters are just not my thing. Also they're saying Avengers: Endgame will have Stan Lee's last movie cameo. I am probably more emotional about seeing that then seeing how they defeat Thanos. Last edited April 3, 2019 9:52:29 am We strike hard and fade away into the night

Of course that doesn't mean the movie/comic book will be any good? Very tricky.

LOL... that is hilarious. I should list my Infinity Gauntley series to those groups and sell them for $9k. I'll list it as "Find out the ending before the movie.." If they read comics they'd already know that none of the heroes ever really die. Spoiler alert: It's comics. They all come back. Marvel/Disney won't risk losing their cash cows. All of this is about as dramatic as the end scene to Batman vs Superman, when Superman dies. Maybe for moviegoers it was a surprise but we all knew he was going to come back (just like in comics) in Justice League. Big whoop.

Rapha1978 Comic Guru Location: North Carolina Posts: 939 My Collection	Posted: April 3, 2019 9:00:39 pm There were 13 watchers on that $5k ticket auction. Insane! We strike hard and fade away into the night
Spector Comic Guru Location: LA Posts: 630 My Collection	Posted: April 3, 2019 9:49:48 pm Wow, I wish I knew people were that gullible to pay thousands for a ticket. I sure would have camped out (if need be) and scored the entire center row! I definitely want to see it, but not in a hurry to fight for a ticket, nor pay anything above the normal cost...and in the same boat with Rapha1978 and logerine....I would rather wait a few weeks and have a virtually uncrowded theater and not have to worry about interruptions.

Must be nice to be able to spend thousands on a freakin' movie opening without worrying about rent or other monthly expenditures.
AmZoMBiE Wise Beyond the Years moderator Location: Michigan Posts: 6830 My Collection	Posted: April 4, 2019 4:51:30 pm im 100% with you brucifer...makes me wonder if its mommy and daddy working hard to earn that money...or if junior lives on his own and pays his own bills lol "How to destroy a man...

claudioma Teacher Posts: 336 My Collection	Posted: April 28, 2019 2:28:51 pm Yup it is ridiculous, unfortunately the 1% are willing to spend there money without any regard to value, that,s why all of entertainment venues have become to expensive for most of us average middle class people.
junobeach Wise Beyond the Years moderator Location: Victoria, BC Canada Posts: 2148 My Collection	Posted: April 28, 2019 8:36:21 pm You can try to sell tickets for any price you want. My question is anybody buying?
claudioma Teacher Posts: 336 My Collection	Posted: May 1, 2019 10:31:18 am Well look at sold out sporting events, concert tickets, and just the basic cost of going out for a night out, so yes people arepaying, not to mention Corp America buys buys these overpriced tickets for their clients and then get tax breaks.
brucifer Wise Beyond the Years lifetime member Location: Toronto, Canada Posts: 1133 My Collection	Posted: May 1, 2019 2:50:32 pm Even if I had unlimited sums of cash lying around I would never pay thousands of dollars on a movie, concert or sporting event. It makes no sense to my brain to fork over thousands of dollars for a few hours of fun? The average person can not go out and have fun for an evening anymore in North America as the prices of almost everything have skyrocketed. It doesn't seem very fair to me.
claudioma Teacher Posts: 336 My Collection	Posted: May 1, 2019 2:53:29 pm Exactly the average person has been priced out of entertainment of any kind.

Tell me about it. I live in Vermont and if I want to go see a Red Sox game it is no joke, a $400-$500 bill after everything adds up. If I had a family with kids it would be like vacation money. I haven't been to a game in years. nem·e·sis noun A righteous infliction of retribution manifested by an appropriate agent
