From insane resale prices to hours-long waits, the summer of movie ticket "concertification" is upon us. Part of the problem is tech, but it's also our "scarcity mindset" around being first to see the best possible formats. by @milesklee.bsky.social: www.wired.com/story/why-is...

Why Is It Absolute Hell to Buy a Movie Ticket Now?
Overwhelmed theater apps and a scarcity mindset around exclusive big-screen formats for blockbusters like “Dune: Part Three” and “The Odyssey” have led to the “concertification” of movies.
