Cannot buy The Dark Knight tickets online, WTF?

[Nocturnal]

Is anyone else experiencing the same problem? I can't buy the tickets from movietickets.com.

Any ideas why they do this?

[Q]

You can't be serious.
The biggest movie of the year and you are trying to buy them 6 hours before the showing.....what did you expect?

I was trying for Friday or Saturday's showings. Same thing though. I remember buying the Transformers tickets the day before they came out on the same site for the same theatre.

 

[Q]

I got my tickets about 2 weeks before it came out, and even though I read online that they were selling out

 

[Greyd]

demand right now is crazy. They might be all sold out,etc. Two weeks ago people were trying to get tickets.

 

[Nocturnal]

Damn this is pretty crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!

That site doesn't offer online sales for some theaters. They weren't on sale for mine either (IMAX in Portage, IN) but I found a site for that one.

Because the studio wants to create buzz by making people wait in a loooooong line at the theaters on opening day?

Yikes! My sister was going to buy tickets but I don't know if she has yet. I hope they aren't sold out...

Can you not buy tickets b/c it says "SOLD OUT" or b/c of some server maintenence?

Either way I'm sure it would have said either "SOLD OUT" or "Maintenance" upon which you are a complete idiot for not understanding why you can't buy tickets.

I just got back from buying my tickets at the theatre. They have three midnight showings of The Dark Knight, one of which was already sold out. Just get off your rump and go down to the theatre and buy the tickets there.

movietickets.com might not be selling tickets for any theatre in your area. Try fandango or the other ones.

 

[Lonyo]

Or trying phoning them and booking that way.

I bought mine two days ago

 

[jpeyton]

epic fail

 

[ballmode]

bought mine in person at the theater a few hours ago, i'm all ready to go!

 

[FleshLight]

Bought 2 for the 12:15am showing at Fandango

Just drove to the theater. They have 12 showings at 1 min increments. First 8 were sold out. I haven't seen an opening like this in a long time.

:Q That's bigger than the Matrix Reloaded. Hopefully the movie is much better than the Matrix Reloaded.

Try different sites. I was able to order tickets for almost any theater I wanted between 3 different websites.

 

[Nocturnal]

Just an update, I was able to buy the tickets from Fandango. The other day though, I wasn't able to purchase it haha. Very strange. Movietickets.com sucks.

Tried movetickets.com a couple of hours ago to buy tickets for a 12:30 showing tonight and it kept giving me a error saying that theater was temp not available. So I drove to the place and bought them, bastards made me get dressed

 

[idiotekniQues]

bought my saturday afternoon tickets 10 days ago. heck the nyc IMAX tickets were sold out a month ago. people are selling them on ebay for a lot more than face value.

 

[zoiks]

I bought mine a few days back.
