The_King Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Movie fans hoping to buy tickets for Avengers: Endgame as advance sales began on Wednesday (10 April) were in for a rude shock: booking websites crashed from the surge in traffic and scalpers began hawking tickets online minutes after the launch of sales. The 20th and final instalment of the current phase of the hugely popular Marvel Studios superhero series premieres in Singapore two weeks later on 24 April. Cinemas started selling advance tickets for THE blockbuster of the year at 9.30am, both online and at physical outlets. But a few cinemas’ websites stalled after sales began due to overwhelming demand. Yahoo Lifestyle Singapore understands that the websites of Golden Village, Cathay and FilmGarde crashed in the morning after advance sales started. Shaw Theatres had an online queue system and as of 11.45pm, the queue length was at over 40,000. However, users had to wait in the virtual queue for as long as over an hour just to purchase the tickets. We’re used to people scalping concert tickets, but this time scalpers were out in full force for Endgame. Sellers posted tickets for the film for sale on Carousell, with offer prices ranging from $15 to $888 (no, you didn’t read that wrongly… huat ah!) If you’re one of those frantically trying to buy a ticket, good luck! You might have better luck running to the nearest physical box office. Advance tickets to Avengers: Endgame are available from all major cinema operators, including Shaw Theatres, Golden Village, Cathay Cineplexes, FilmGarde and WE Cinemas. https://sg.style.yahoo.com/avengers-fans-face-scalpers-website-crashes-ticket-sales-opens-endgame-035808996.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
