The ticket scalping crisis has hit AMC Theatres hard, and it’s time we all speak up. With the surge in popularity of IMAX 70mm films from brilliant minds like Ryan Coogler, Christopher Nolan, and Denis Villeneuve, cinephiles are struggling to get their hands on tickets. These scalpers are snapping up seats only to resell them at skyrocketing prices. It shouldn't feel like we're trying to buy tickets to a Beyoncé concert just to see a movie! These outrageous prices—sometimes reaching into the thousands—are forcing genuine fans to resort to third-party sites, making an already difficult situation worse.

AMC CEO Adam Aron has recognized the problem, but we need actionable solutions. Movie lovers deserve to see their favorite films on opening night without the added pressure of inflated resale prices. The thrill of experiencing these cinematic masterpieces in the intended IMAX format shouldn't be reserved for those who can afford exorbitant resale costs. It's time for AMC to implement strict anti-scalping measures to ensure fair ticket distribution.

We need AMC to prioritize their true fans and put policies in place that prevent scalpers from ruining the movie-going experience. Simple changes like limiting the number of tickets one can purchase or utilizing verified fan systems could make a huge difference. Let's make it possible for everyone to enjoy the movies as they were meant to be seen—affordably and accessibly.

Join me in urging AMC Theatres to take decisive action against ticket scalping. Together, we can ensure that all moviegoers have fair access to their favorite films. Sign this petition and let's take back our movie nights!
