Demand for tickets to "The Odyssey" is creating a difficult market for moviegoers in New York, where the film is playing on just one IMAX 70mm screen. With screenings selling out, fans are struggling to secure seats and many are turning to online communities in hopes that someone will release or resell a ticket.
That intense demand appears to have opened the door to aggressive scalpers and questionable sellers. Reports from would-be attendees suggest that some people trying to buy resale tickets have instead run into scams, adding frustration to an already competitive ticket hunt.
The situation highlights how limited-format releases can quickly become targets for resale activity, especially when a title is tied to a premium large-screen experience. When supply is extremely tight, unofficial ticket sales often increase, and so do the risks for buyers who are eager not to miss out.
As interest in "The Odyssey" remains high, the scramble for seats is becoming part of the story around the release itself. For many fans, the challenge is no longer just finding an available ticket, but figuring out which offers are legitimate in a resale market that has grown increasingly sketchy.
