You might be a big Avengers fan. But are you a I’m-gonna-pay-10-lakhs-for-the-movie-tickets big fan?
We have been eagerly waiting for April since what seems like a long time now and the Avengers: Endgame trailers have got us so excited for the movie that some of us (read: me) might even cry when the Avengers theme starts playing on the big screen!
Because that’s how crazy the fandom is.
But it seems like we had underestimated how ‘crazy’ fans can really get…
So, advanced booking for Avengers: Endgame have begun in the US and everybody is on a rush to catch the first-day first show. Because if not, are you truly a fan?
Now you can imagine the amount of traffic some of the theatre websites got. And as expected, the websites crashed.
Sellers went on to take advantage of the situation and soon the tickets were being sold for a huge bid starting from $5,000 up to $15,000 USD (3.4-10.3 lakhs INR)!
And some of them actually sold out!
Soon these bizarre pricings were all that the internet could talk about and Netizens weren’t impressed.
Avengers tickets for $5000. If someone buys them I will forever be allowed to call them every morning at 3am and just say "damn you're dumb".

Glad to see there were no bids on these. Wait a couple days or pay thousands of dollars?
People doing this with the tickets are the worst kind of people.— Robbie Scharold (@RobBobUK5) April 4, 2019
This is beyond moronic, did they actually expect to sell anything? A more than 2hr film or any other worth while item/activity? Hmmm…. such a hard choice…!

Seeing all these bids has made me realise that fans are now at that stage where they are suffering from a pathological condition called ‘Avengers frenzy’ because accept it, this is crazy!
