Based on a poll we took recently, "The Dark Knight Rises" isn't even the most anticipated movie of the summer. That honor belongs to "The Avengers." Still, the final film in Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy is managing to push major prices for sold out tickets to midnight showings for July 20, the day it comes out. According to MTV, tickets are selling for as much as $150 a pop.

Indeed, there are tickets being sold for upwards of $150 on eBay, but the only ticket we see with any bids on it is about $60. On craigslist, prices range from $11 to $120, though buyers might want to beware of those lower prices on craigslist. And MTV warns that Fandango is rendering resold tickets invalid, which means they might request ID at the door. But if you could guarantee you'd get away with it, would you pay $100 for a midnight showing?

No, I wouldn't pay that for JUST a ticket to TDKR -- BUT if it was a ticket for Batman Begins, TDK (in IMAX) and then the new film, yes, I might. These movies are my all-time favorites, and our local theater isn't doing the trifecta like other theaters are...

I LOVED The Dark Knight, and I bet I'm going to love TDKR just as much -- if not, dare I say it, MORE! http://www.ranker.com/list/th...

I'm a Batman fan and even I wouldn't pay that much for it, unless there was an after-party catered by some haute cuisine restaurant., and all those who had seen the special showing were invited.

As much as I want to see this, I wouldn't pay that much because the studio wouldn't see any of that movie. It's all profit for the jerk who went around buying up all the tickets.

I did get my tickets, but spent only $15. It was still a bit much, but I'm a huge Batman fan.

I'll wait until I can buy matinee, while it might be a very good movie, no movie is ever worth going to go stand in those long lines and sit next to people you dont want to in a crowded movie theater.

I'm sure it's a good movie, but I could probably see 3-5 movies for $100, depending on concessions.

Ticket prices are over-priced as it is.

I'll go to my local cinema on Tuesday and get the discounted £5 showing. Rather than the £8 showing, or the stupid 3D showing.
