He continued, “We have cross functional teams actively reviewing how best we can do something to put the brakes on these wannabe ticket brokers.”

He followed up to say that scalpers will be monitoring eBay and other websites and will do their best to cancel tickets and close Stubs accounts of suspected scalpers.

“It is a violation of our ticketing teams to scalp AMC tickets,” he added.

IMHO because people will only go to cinema for IMAX now, or else it's not worth it. And those IMAX screens are still rare.

Who the hell is paying $4000 for a movie that is going to be $20 on Amazon within a month?

Depends. If the seller using their A-List membership, yes they can. Otherwise, they will have to pretend buying and ask which locations and seat is it ig

This feels like such an American problem because I’ve noticed online Americans will flood cinemas and some people can’t get tickets for showings for weeks.

Meanwhile I’ve been able to almost always just buy a ticket the day of release for most major films, even for Marvel movies. For legit £4.99 at a major UK cinema brand.
