People are buying Avengers: Endgame opening night tickets for $500 a piece on eBay. Yes. We live in a world where this is now a thing.
…UPDATE 4/6/19: There is now a sold listing on eBay with pair of tickets for $9,199 for April 28. (See screenshot below.)That’s two nights AFTER Endgame premiers. Almost 10 grand! Granted, this is for an NYC theater, but…okay…that’s still no excuse. This article may now resume…
Twitter’s trend reports say Marvel Cinematic Universe fans are “losing their minds” to secure premier evening movie tickets. This Hypebeast article has a graphic showing eBay sales with scalped tickets for Avengers: Endgame — which is not even opening until April 26, mind you, several weeks from now — going for $500. Half a thousand dollars, and folks are willingly shelling it out.

Ticket Sites Are Crashing From the Traffic
Online ticket outlets AMC and Fandango have been crashing since pre-sales for this MCU endgame of endgames began yesterday.
Fandango users report many got to the “choose your seat” stage and been booted off the site. How’s that for frustrating? This is the kind of activity I’ve only seen to get into the San Diego Comic Con, and NEVER for a wide-release movie. Ever. RunPee has never seen this kind of feeding frenzy for a film before in 11 years of harvesting Peetimes.
Consider this a quick heads up to plan your Avengers ticket strategies right now if you’re a die-hard MCU fan. Don’t wait and hope you’ll nab a seat opening night without making an Asgardian effort even Thor might find impossible.
Remember, Endgame is Loooooong
And yes, just as a reminder, Endgame clocks in over three hours long, so you will NEED your Peetimes. We’re 99% sure to have them for you before opening night, as we pay a movie review in LA extra to get into early screeners. Then we all see the movie again ourselves, several times, to give you the best Peetimes possible.
As Always, Don’t Leave Your Seats During the Credits for the MCU
Also, never never leave your seat during the end credits. But you know this by now. Remember, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 had five extra scenes, plus a lot of Groot-related Easter Eggs. (As always, RunPee will tell you where the end credits are in case you must make a speedy break.)
New to the MCU? Really?
In fact, If this is your first rodeo with the MCU, you shouldn’t be bothering to see this film right now, opening night or not. Consider this a stern warning from a friend: you won’t know who any of these many, many people are. Start at the beginning with Iron Man, work through the 22 films in the series, and see Endgame at your leisure. No lines. Spoilers won’t mean much to you if you don’t know what’s at stake, or don’t realize it’s possible to cry (twice!) over things that happen to a walking tree.
What people are saying
about the RunPee app.
This is a great app. I wish more people would support it
This app provides info about movies, reviews, ratings from people who have seen it before and after viewing. It has links to info about the movies. It let’s you know when there will be a lull in the action and how long it will last. If you want to know what happens during that time, you can check the brief synopsis (you have to click a link, so no accidental spoilers). It has a timer you can set (silent) to alert you to a break. It also tells you whether there is anything extra during or after the credits. It’s really a wonderful app. I’ve subscribed for a couple of years to support the developers, but I noticed some of the links to provide feedback didn’t seem to work today. They also made it free, with voluntary donations to see the pee-times. If you haven’t tried it, I encourage you to do so, and subscribe if you like it. I really hope the app is supported so it can continue to be maintained!
Developers note: RunPee doesn’t make much money but it supports itself nicely. Donations are appreciated, but not required. We’ll add as many movies to the database as we can until there are no more movie theaters.

Now go do what you need to do at AMC, Fandango, or the outlet of your choice. I’ll be back with more updates right here when I can!
And consider a back-up plan if you have to wait a few days to get Endgame tickets — avoid the internet, newspapers, and all your friends, even, until you see it. I can’t wait. I hope none of us will have to for long.
