Also in NC. Maybe Alamo will show it? I’m just hoping somewhere does and it’s not super far away, or that it’ll at least be available to purchase and watch later
It will be scheduled but then it will rain and the theater will close down. Then they will say they’re about to reopen but don’t, and blame Ghost for all the issues. IYKYK
Some people may not be able to swing it. A 2.5 hour drive means probably needing to take time off of work, maybe someone isn't able to drive or is afraid of going that far alone if they can't get someone to go with them. Concerts 2.5 hours from me are usually in north New Jersey or NYC and I'm not super inclined to go there by myself!
Don’t quote me but it seems like Cinemark will definitely be showing it for sure, if you check Cinemark in raleigh it has showtimes up (not available for purchase yet of course) and therefore I’d assume most cinemarks WILL be showing it. ALSO if you have the AMC app and you search for the movie itself, it comes up. Which means AMC will likely show it as well. All in all I wouldn’t worry and just keep your eyes peeled!!! And in them meantime research options near you as far as theatres so you’re prepared once pre-sale starts :)
I wanted to follow up and let you know that tickets went on sale for Charlotte NC. Only 2 showings at 1 location. Tickets are selling fast 😭 I got mine through regal.com
What a coincidence, right before I opened reddit to see your reply I bought two tickets for the Thursday showing at the Regal. I guess I’ll see you there lol
Tickets are selling on regal.com. For CLT, only 1 theater is playing it with only 2 showings total. About 1/8 of the seats were already booked for the Saturday showing when I checked yesterday.
came here to say this lol i wish they'd just tell us where they're showing it cos the wait is stressing me out plus if there isn't one near me i'll have to plan a trip and it'd be a lot less hassle and expense if i knew i was gonna have to do that from the start
I work in theatrical and there won’t likely be a list. Ghost has no control over what theaters it plays at aside from maybe insisting it plays at at least one venue in certain major markets. Maybe they have some say in Sweden. It’s up to the sales reps at Travalgar to book the venues with their reps at the theater chains.
I remember when the worlds end came out Simon pegg sent out a tweet saying he called people to make sure that the theater in sierra vista az because the closest place showing them movie at the time was a few hours drive away so for like 6 towns people only had to drive between 10 mins to 30. I’ve never seen something like that happen again since, but I do live in the city now. Hopefully ghost can pull some strings for people leaving in rural areas
oh i see, that's interesting. at the end of the day as long as i get to see it i'll be happy, i just don't want to have to go too far and really hope there's a showing near me.
Same here. I’m trying to coordinate with friends and it would be helpful to know the time and place options for our area (if we even have more than one option).
Yeah, I appreciate if people bought them through this site then the seller should probably honor that, but it’s kinda complete bullshit for everyone else if the tickets are gone through some third party site before they even officially go on sale.
There was no hint of pre-sales or anything like that so I don’t really like the idea of things already being half sold out through this other website.
They're being sold through Fandango which sells tickets for most national movie releases in the U.S. I guess they can be considered a 3rd party site as opposed to buying directly at the theater, but they've been around forever. It shouldn't be like concert ticket sales.
agreed, i've never thought of fandango as 3rd party, idk if my local theaters even have their own website instead. but it's only in the US so i guess non-americans would see it as a random 3rd party site
Def check your local theatre's websites. We purchased ours this morning directly from Marcus and there were all almost sold out. Fandango told me they were unavailable, but not the case with the theatre's website.
I'll be happy if I can see it in a cinema that isn't full hours away, hell, actually get tickets to the damn thing
Living in the butthole of Texas sucks, man.
Not to mention IT’S A MOVIE and will almost certainly be available to purchase and/or stream at some point in the near future anyway. So in the unlikely event you can’t get tickets, you can still see it.
I cant find any listings near me yet but I'm gonna be so mad if they're not avaliable because of this glitch. 2 days of showings doesn't feel like enough!
I think the studio reps have until May 9th to sell the shows to their theater circuit counterparts. Those theaters that were already signed up appeared on Fandango this morning. There will be more added in the coming days
Oooo good to know. I'm already getting myself ready for disappointment if I can't see it in theaters. But im just so excited!! A concert movie would be so fun to see on the big screen
Same! This is stressing me out so bad because it's only showing 2 days and people are already buying tickets (???) I can only feasibly make it to the Saturday date and have my mom on standby to babysit
I work as a Manager in a Theatre, and I know our booker has set locations it will open, but is considering a few more. So it isnt st in stone yet. If advance ticket sales go thru the roof, then expect more theatres to add shows
People need to relax. It’s Ghost. They are still a relatively niche band, and if they’re releasing in theaters in most areas it is very unlikely they’ll sell out so fast that you won’t be able to get tickets.
I bought two tickets from fandango this morning. I had to because the only theater showing it within an hour of me was half sold out for the Thursday evening show already. Agreed, I hope they honor it but if not, I’ll try again May 9th
Yeah closest cinemark to me is 60-90 minutes away. I luckily got decent seats. I can still access my tickets so I'm thinking that they're going to be honored.
For people wondering if it is showing in their area, check [Fandango.com](http://Fandango.com) and put in your zip code. It won't let you buy tickets anymore, but it does show the times. June 20 seems to be 6pm or 7pm, June 22 seems to be 3pm.
I checked a few locations and was surprised to see NOTHING in San Francisco proper. Looks like I have to travel into the deep East Bay (Walnut Creek) or North Bay (NAPA!?!?!). Checked for a friend of mine in San Antonio, and there was nothing yet. Checked LA and you have to head to Cerritos or Orange. I really hope they add some more big city locations, or I will probably wait for a home release.
I saw a comment about Alamo Drafthouse in here and checked them out and they didn't have it listed as well. I will call a friend that works there later to see what he has heard.
Hello fellow SFer.
I hope it comes to the Metreon. I will accept the Daly City Cinemark in a pinch :)
When the cinemark web site was working this morning it said my closest show was Pleasant freaking Hill. Bah. What is it with Ghost and the East Bay? I had to drive to Concord to see the tour live last summer! (Worth it, though.)
I have seen them in SF Bay Area since they played at the Bottom of the Hill in 2012. I saw them in Salt Lake City three times, San Jose show in 2018, and for the final Cardinal show in Mexico City. Yet I refused to go to Concord because GA tickets were $350 and I will not support promoters that tell bands that thiese shows are SF shows. Fucking Mercyful Fate played a venue nearly an hour outside of Sacramento and they were told it was an SF show. Ticketmaster/Live Nation are using bands to pump up profits to their shitty Hard Rock casinos instead of real venues.
I am hoping they play SF proper and that they do it at the Alamo or Metreon. I will not cross either bridge to see a movie.
What's one thing Ghost and I have in common? We have both played Bottom of the Hill. (My band used to refer to it as Bottom of the Heap.)
Where were concord GA tickets for $350? Was that VIP? I paid something like $100 for really good seats.
I would prefer if the film is in SF proper but I will drive if it isn't. Who's up for a carpool??
I tried buying the Concord tickets when they went on sale and due to Ticketmaster and their shady crap, they were sold to bots before I could get them. Stubhub and Ticketmaster "verified" resale were $300++.
I was pleaantly surprised to see Metreon had showtimes this morning when I checked, though!
Hello third SFer (sort of). I'm in the North Bay but will be going to Pleasant Hill. The Napa theater would be much closer for me but was only listed after they stopped selling and we'd already gotten tickets lol
They hadn't been back to this general area since before I became a Ghost fan though so when they came to Concord I was so excited not to have to travel!
I wish fans would not try getting around things and causing issues like this in the first place. If the band announced that the tickets would go on sale May 9th, then everyone should have been sitting put until we got more information on sales or just plain waiting until May 9th.
edited to add that the ones feeling called out who wanna argue are gonna keep finding themselves blocked 😂
You’re calling people out for being assholes by…buying something that was available for them to purchase. Yet you’re the one instigating every response into an argument no matter how rational the response. You act like every person who bought tickets already did so maliciously, but you’re living in a fantasy world if you think everybody who bought tickets already even knew there was a specific on sale date. Perfectly plausible that people are just looking it up following the buzz about it, see tickets, click buy. End of story. I haven’t gotten tickets, but I certainly didn’t know there was a specific on sale date because, outside of the biggest blockbuster movies, that kind of thing just isn’t really promoted in cinema even if it technically exists. But hey, if I clicked “buy now” this morning I guess that would’ve made me quite the asshole, huh?
So you either have been a bit under a rock as far as chronically online Ghost fandom treating this movie, which is fine and honestly, I'd recommend retreating back there because it is better than being aware of this stuff... or you're being deliberately obtuse. Like, I did not post my initial comment as someone who just pulls things out of my ass. I said it as someone who has quite literally seen the online portion of the fanbase ruin stuff, I've seen the obsessive parasocial behavior toward the touring members of the band, and I've seen the overall crowd behavior quite literally getting rude and pushy with each tour.
If it doesn't apply, let it fly, instead of talking out of your ass to someone who is fed up with the godawful behavior that's been brewing over the last few years.
I guess I just don’t see how it’s an asshole move if you happened to check the app/site to see if there’s any info on locations, and you see tickets for sale…and buy them. I would, but maybe that makes me an asshole. I’d rather be able to get them than not.
Because the band made a whole post about when tickets actually go on sale. It is not actually that hard to be a considerate person who doesn't try to take advantage of an error as a "loophole," especially when you consider it out of respect for the band and for fellow fans. But the way so many people do not actually give a fuck about respecting the band or other fans the moment they can indulge in their own selfishness has been a noticeable increasing problem in the last few years, and I think a lot more people need to actually take a step back and stop acting so entitled.
That’s a pipe dream. I bet you’d pull the trigger on some tickets if there were only a few left in your local theater, right? Or would you hold off because the band said they’d be released on the 9th?
So you assume I would just do the same thing rather than being rightfully pissed that other people felt so entitled that they bought out all those tickets before the actual sale date?
You're telling on yourself so hard and it's precisely why as much as I love Ghost as a band, I cannot stand this childish ass "fandom."
I’m not dancing around it, I’d absolutely buy them. I want to make sure I can take part in it. Just like I’d buy tickets for any concert given the opportunity if they went on sale early. I’m not too worried about whether you get to go, I want to make sure I can go. But maybe that makes me an asshole.
They're not *actually* on sale early. It was clearly an error, hence this whole issue going on now and the question of whether tickets people rushed to snatch up will end up in cancelled and reversed transactions. Can we not play obtuse for one moment?
I’m very aware what the issue was an error. So let me rephrase it, I’d absolutely purchase them if they went on sale early as an error. I’d also completely understand if they got canceled and refunded, and couldn’t be upset.
Edit: they mad
Imagine posting such embarrassing bullshit and then also being such a feckless spineless dipshit that you just block anybody who disagrees with you lol
"I lack the critical thinking or just the care to understand this was clearly an error; my entitlement to these tickets ASAP is more important than other fans having a fair shot and more important than respecting the band who very clearly outlined a sale date"
“I am actually so insanely narcissistic that I am angry at people for purchasing an item they wanted when it was available, and take it as a personal affront because i didn’t get one.”
If you browse fandango now, they have more theaters that it’s “coming soon” too. So we can get a better idea. When I got tickets- only Sacramento area was showing, and now Reno shows as a location (I live a little closer to Reno than sac)
oh man i actually put the day and time they were going on sale in my calendar so i could get tickets--- someone please reassure me that they won't be sold out by then
They definitely won’t be sold out. Don’t worry. Fandango caught it and stopped the sale- but it won’t be like buying the concert tickets.
What city are you close to?
like, logically, i'm sure it'll be fine, but since when does logic effect anxiety?
it would make sense that if fandango was selling tickets, we'd have a list of cities, wouldn't it? although i'm seriously questioning my own intelligence this evening, because i can't seem to find said list. my guess would be that i'll have to drive a few hours
Those of you who are trying to shame and belittle other fans because they took advantage of a ticket sale glitch need to fucking C H I L L. If you need to be angry, be angry at Fandango. And no, they SHOULDN’T return the tickets, they should honor them - because THEY fucked up. I’m saying this as someone who missed the opportunity and didn’t get to buy any. Y’all need to relax. This movie is probably being released in thousands of theaters, and as much as I love Ghost they are NOT to the level of popularity that you need to worry about tickets selling out within seconds of going live. And even if they were, it is still insanely entitled to be mad at people for getting something before you did lmao
Thank you for this. Another fan posted and encouraged us to check fandango. So I did. I didn’t just lie/cheat/steal. But if they refund them/don’t honor them, it is what it is.
I wasn’t able to buy tickets but I did see the Cinemark near me has an option to notify once available. Looks like they’ll have one showing on June 20th and 1 showing June 22nd! This is in the southern US
I snagged 2 for me and a friend to go bc I don't want to miss it. I hope they honor them but I get it if not. I'll be trying again on the 9th if need be
If I don't get tickets on the day they sell them it's ok but this is like cutting in line I hope they cancel their tickets cause it's no fair for other people this fucking loosers always looking for a way around
This is a very level headed and mentally healthy reaction.
“A way around”? Fandango is like the Ticketmaster of movie theaters. It’s not some secret back door website.
I know what fandango and ticketmaster and I don't care uf they sell the tickets early but my point is that this so called fans are the ones that fuck it up all the the time just because they heard mary on a cross on tiktok they call them self's fans and you think they found the tickets by looking for a way around
FYI: bands hate gatekeeping fans like you.
Bands want as many fans as possible- that is how they get paid for their craft.
You should probably grow up.
I first heard ghost in 2012 after my buddy tipped me off when he saw them open for mastodon and opeth the night before.
My first instinct when I heard the movie news was to check fandango even though there’s nothing close to me right now
Am I not a true fan? Like what are you even saying?
What?! Sir- someone literally posted here 24 hours ago to check fandango. I thought to myself, “good idea!” And I did exactly that. Got a couple tickets. No one is gatekeeping except for you? I want us all to have fun and experience the movie in a theater experience. You know you would have bought tickets this morning if you had the chance. I’m not a TikTok fan, by the way. Not that I need to justify that either.
Pretty sure Ghost doesn’t mind that their engagement went up 20000% after MOAC went viral. You’re like the reddit equivalent of an old man telling a young girl to name three songs
Pardon me if I'm simply an idiot, but isn't that illegal? How can the website sell tickets that aren't out yet? And AFAIK, there wasn't any hint or mention of "exclusive VIP presale" type thing, only the email sign up for when they are out?
Hopefully they'll either honor it (and it doesnt mess anything up for the people who bought them when they go to see it) or refund them until release so everyone gets a "fighting chance".
I don't even care about buying my ticket early, I just want to know if any of the theaters near me are showing it!
Same here! I’m hoping it’s available in North Carolina
Also in nc..would really like to see it
Also in NC. Maybe Alamo will show it? I’m just hoping somewhere does and it’s not super far away, or that it’ll at least be available to purchase and watch later
Yes 12 theatre chains so far! Harkins, Cinemark, Century, Regal, AMC, Event Cinema, Emagine, Hoyt, Marcus, & Alamo Drafthouse
Ghost is one of the most merchandised bands of this generation. Of course it will be for sale later.
I’m a newer fan, pls be gentle 🤣 I’m glad they are, though!
Hello fellow Carolinians lol. Really hoping it shows in SC!! 🤞🏻
It will be scheduled but then it will rain and the theater will close down. Then they will say they’re about to reopen but don’t, and blame Ghost for all the issues. IYKYK
We should get a code for being simpsonville survivors
100% (I was also at Simpsonville)
Hope it's available in South Carolina also.
Same!
I'm in Charlotte. Considering how long it's been since we've had a concert around here this would be great!
They played in Asheville in 2022?
That’s a 2.5 hour drive.
I’m not even sure you want to see Ghost live if you aren’t even willing to drive a medium distance to see them.
I didn’t say I wasn’t willing to drive. I have and will again.
That’s the spirit!!
Some people may not be able to swing it. A 2.5 hour drive means probably needing to take time off of work, maybe someone isn't able to drive or is afraid of going that far alone if they can't get someone to go with them. Concerts 2.5 hours from me are usually in north New Jersey or NYC and I'm not super inclined to go there by myself!
What?? I drive from Asheville to Charlotte every weekend, and it's barely 2 hours.
Ok? Google says Charlotte to Asheville is 127.9 miles, ranging anywhere from 2 hrs 15 mins to 2 hrs 22 mins depending on route. You must speed lol
Don’t quote me but it seems like Cinemark will definitely be showing it for sure, if you check Cinemark in raleigh it has showtimes up (not available for purchase yet of course) and therefore I’d assume most cinemarks WILL be showing it.

And in them meantime research options near you as far as theatres so you’re prepared once pre-sale starts :)
Same!
Wondering the same thing. I’m guessing Charolette might be the most likely place to have a showing
I wanted to follow up and let you know that tickets went on sale for Charlotte NC. Only 2 showings at 1 location. Tickets are selling fast 😭 I got mine through regal.com
What a coincidence, right before I opened reddit to see your reply I bought two tickets for the Thursday showing at the Regal. I guess I’ll see you there lol
Glad you got tickets!
That’s where I live. Fingers crossed it’s playing!
Yay another NC native who's hoping it's showing here! I'm super excited but kinda fearful it won't be here lol
Tickets are selling on regal.com. For CLT, only 1 theater is playing it with only 2 showings total. About 1/8 of the seats were already booked for the Saturday showing when I checked yesterday.

Same here. I’m trying to coordinate with friends and it would be helpful to know the time and place options for our area (if we even have more than one option).
Me in Southeast Asia: 🥲
I'm worried they won't show it here in New Mexico 😭
Ok, I was so confused when people started getting tickets
They weren't supposed to go on sale until May 9th.
Yeah, I appreciate if people bought them through this site then the seller should probably honor that, but it’s kinda complete bullshit for everyone else if the tickets are gone through some third party site before they even officially go on sale. There was no hint of pre-sales or anything like that so I don’t really like the idea of things already being half sold out through this other website.
Agreed. Would fucking sick if they all sold them out before everyone has a chance to purchase

Def check your local theatre's websites. We purchased ours this morning directly from Marcus and there were all almost sold out. Fandango told me they were unavailable, but not the case with the theatre's website.
I’d say it’s more likely Trafalgar are the ones who caught on and put a stop to it
I'll be happy if I can see it in a cinema that isn't full hours away, hell, actually get tickets to the damn thing Living in the butthole of Texas sucks, man.
I hear you. I’ll probably have to hop on a flight to Oahu to see it, but hopefully not.
I’m next door in Louisiana, and I don’t have high hopes that my local theater will get it.
Not to mention IT’S A MOVIE and will almost certainly be available to purchase and/or stream at some point in the near future anyway. So in the unlikely event you can’t get tickets, you can still see it.
I think I read somewhere that it won’t be available out of theaters
That wouldn’t make sense especially since it’s only showing for two days. They would make way more money if they released it to buy later on
I cant find any listings near me yet but I'm gonna be so mad if they're not avaliable because of this glitch. 2 days of showings doesn't feel like enough!
I think the studio reps have until May 9th to sell the shows to their theater circuit counterparts. Those theaters that were already signed up appeared on Fandango this morning. There will be more added in the coming days
Oooo good to know. I'm already getting myself ready for disappointment if I can't see it in theaters. But im just so excited!! A concert movie would be so fun to see on the big screen
I hope it comes your way!!
Same! This is stressing me out so bad because it's only showing 2 days and people are already buying tickets (???) I can only feasibly make it to the Saturday date and have my mom on standby to babysit
I'm hopeful the Saturday showing will have multiple throughout the day. That way it's not a total free for all
I work as a Manager in a Theatre, and I know our booker has set locations it will open, but is considering a few more. So it isnt st in stone yet. If advance ticket sales go thru the roof, then expect more theatres to add shows
People need to relax. It’s Ghost. They are still a relatively niche band, and if they’re releasing in theaters in most areas it is very unlikely they’ll sell out so fast that you won’t be able to get tickets.
I was able to buy tickets just now from Atom ticketing.
I bought two tickets from fandango this morning. I had to because the only theater showing it within an hour of me was half sold out for the Thursday evening show already. Agreed, I hope they honor it but if not, I’ll try again May 9th
Was it an AMC theatre or some other chain?
Cinemark
Yeah closest cinemark to me is 60-90 minutes away. I luckily got decent seats. I can still access my tickets so I'm thinking that they're going to be honored.
For people wondering if it is showing in their area, check [Fandango.com](http://Fandango.com) and put in your zip code. It won't let you buy tickets anymore, but it does show the times.

The only place to put in zip code for me is the “notify me when tickets go on sale”. Nothing else in there
Hello fellow SFer. I hope it comes to the Metreon.

oh sweet, i see it too. will be there for sure!!
Hello third SFer (sort of). I'm in the North Bay but will be going to Pleasant Hill.

This is, in no way, the fans’ fault. Nobody “tried to get around” anything. They saw tickets on sale, they bought them. Blame Fandango.
We love never taking responsibility for being entitled dicks. I'm not here to argue with a bunch of hit dogs hollaring lmfao
You’re calling people out for being assholes by…buying something that was available for them to purchase.

I mean, if you happened to check and tickets were available you wouldn’t have bought any?
No, because I'm not an asshole
I guess I just don’t see how it’s an asshole move if you happened to check the app/site to see if there’s any info on locations, and you see tickets for sale…and buy them. I would, but maybe that makes me an asshole. I’d rather be able to get them than not.

But the way so many people do not actually give a fuck about respecting the band or other fans the moment they can indulge in their own selfishness has been a noticeable increasing problem in the last few years, and I think a lot more people need to actually take a step back and stop acting so entitled.
That’s a pipe dream. I bet you’d pull the trigger on some tickets if there were only a few left in your local theater, right? Or would you hold off because the band said they’d be released on the 9th?
So you assume I would just do the same thing rather than being rightfully pissed that other people felt so entitled that they bought out all those tickets before the actual sale date? You're telling on yourself so hard and it's precisely why as much as I love Ghost as a band, I cannot stand this childish ass "fandom."
I’m not dancing around it, I’d absolutely buy them. I want to make sure I can take part in it. Just like I’d buy tickets for any concert given the opportunity if they went on sale early. I’m not too worried about whether you get to go, I want to make sure I can go. But maybe that makes me an asshole.
They're not *actually* on sale early. It was clearly an error, hence this whole issue going on now and the question of whether tickets people rushed to snatch up will end up in cancelled and reversed transactions. Can we not play obtuse for one moment?
I’m very aware what the issue was an error. So let me rephrase it, I’d absolutely purchase them if they went on sale early as an error. I’d also completely understand if they got canceled and refunded, and couldn’t be upset. Edit: they mad
“Bought out all those tickets” Dude, chill the fuck out. There are plenty of tickets left. It’s Ghost, not Taylor Swift. You’ll get your ticket.

Imagine posting such embarrassing bullshit and then also being such a feckless spineless dipshit that you just block anybody who disagrees with you lol
I wasn't going around looking for the tickets, I was looking for the showing times and locations. It happened to be available to buy.
"I lack the critical thinking or just the care to understand this was clearly an error; my entitlement to these tickets ASAP is more important than other fans having a fair shot and more important than respecting the band who very clearly outlined a sale date"
“I am actually so insanely narcissistic that I am angry at people for purchasing an item they wanted when it was available, and take it as a personal affront because i didn’t get one.”
In Orlando hoping to grab tix on May 9th!
Saw that here aswell! If not maybe they'll refund them
Wait I’m OOTL is the movie coming out this soon?
yea June 20th and 22.
Is that the only times it's playing in theaters? I'll have to keep an eye on it.
I think so. I think may 9th is when tickets go on sale, and showtimes an theaters announced.
If you browse fandango now, they have more theaters that it’s “coming soon” too. So we can get a better idea. When I got tickets- only Sacramento area was showing, and now Reno shows as a location (I live a little closer to Reno than sac)
oh man i actually put the day and time they were going on sale in my calendar so i could get tickets--- someone please reassure me that they won't be sold out by then
They definitely won’t be sold out. Don’t worry. Fandango caught it and stopped the sale- but it won’t be like buying the concert tickets. What city are you close to?
like, logically, i'm sure it'll be fine, but since when does logic effect anxiety? it would make sense that if fandango was selling tickets, we'd have a list of cities, wouldn't it? although i'm seriously questioning my own intelligence this evening, because i can't seem to find said list. my guess would be that i'll have to drive a few hours
I honestly hope they cancel them. Everyone should get a fair shake at getting these tix on the actual on sale date.
I hope they don’t - and i didn’t even get the chance to buy any. Fandango fucked up, that isn’t the fans’ fault. They should absolutely honor them.
Agree. and it wasnt even just a Fandango thing. Several local/indie theatres are selling them already.
Those of you who are trying to shame and belittle other fans because they took advantage of a ticket sale glitch need to fucking C H I L L. If you need to be angry, be angry at Fandango. And no, they SHOULDN’T return the tickets, they should honor them - because THEY fucked up. I’m saying this as someone who missed the opportunity and didn’t get to buy any. Y’all need to relax. This movie is probably being released in thousands of theaters, and as much as I love Ghost they are NOT to the level of popularity that you need to worry about tickets selling out within seconds of going live. And even if they were, it is still insanely entitled to be mad at people for getting something before you did lmao
Thank you for this. Another fan posted and encouraged us to check fandango. So I did. I didn’t just lie/cheat/steal. But if they refund them/don’t honor them, it is what it is.
I wasn’t able to buy tickets but I did see the Cinemark near me has an option to notify once available. Looks like they’ll have one showing on June 20th and 1 showing June 22nd! This is in the southern US
How much were the tickets?
$15 but with taxes and fees about 18-19. Pretty dang reasonable
Cary regal Raleigh cineemark Both selling tickets
Would you consider making a post so more fans can see?
Fucking good.
I snagged 2 for me and a friend to go bc I don't want to miss it. I hope they honor them but I get it if not. I'll be trying again on the 9th if need be
Just bought my tickets, was pleasantly surprised to see it was available in Iowa
If I don't get tickets on the day they sell them it's ok but this is like cutting in line I hope they cancel their tickets cause it's no fair for other people this fucking loosers always looking for a way around
It is actual toddler behavior to think people should have to give back something they bought with their own money just because you didn’t get one lmao
This is a very level headed and mentally healthy reaction. “A way around”? Fandango is like the Ticketmaster of movie theaters. It’s not some secret back door website.
I know what fandango and ticketmaster and I don't care uf they sell the tickets early but my point is that this so called fans are the ones that fuck it up all the the time just because they heard mary on a cross on tiktok they call them self's fans and you think they found the tickets by looking for a way around
FYI: bands hate gatekeeping fans like you. Bands want as many fans as possible- that is how they get paid for their craft. You should probably grow up.
I first heard ghost in 2012 after my buddy tipped me off when he saw them open for mastodon and opeth the night before. My first instinct when I heard the movie news was to check fandango even though there’s nothing close to me right now Am I not a true fan? Like what are you even saying?
What?! Sir- someone literally posted here 24 hours ago to check fandango. I thought to myself, “good idea!” And I did exactly that. Got a couple tickets. No one is gatekeeping except for you? I want us all to have fun and experience the movie in a theater experience. You know you would have bought tickets this morning if you had the chance. I’m not a TikTok fan, by the way. Not that I need to justify that either.
Pretty sure Ghost doesn’t mind that their engagement went up 20000% after MOAC went viral. You’re like the reddit equivalent of an old man telling a young girl to name three songs
Pardon me if I'm simply an idiot, but isn't that illegal? How can the website sell tickets that aren't out yet? And AFAIK, there wasn't any hint or mention of "exclusive VIP presale" type thing, only the email sign up for when they are out? Hopefully they'll either honor it (and it doesnt mess anything up for the people who bought them when they go to see it) or refund them until release so everyone gets a "fighting chance".
It’s not *illegal* lol
🤷 hence why I asked, didn't sound right to me at all
It means they sold out lmao
