Would You Pay $100 for a Midnight Showing of 'Dark Knight Rises'?

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?

    yeah, it's outrageous...better off to wait for the DVD/Blu-Ray to come out...you spend the same amount of money and you get to own and watch in comfort of home

    I do look forward to seeing TDKR, but I'm content to wait about a week post release for any crowds to die down and pay the regular 10 ~ 15 USD admission.

    NOPE ..
    Not only is that WASTEFUL .. but insane ..
    there's no way 'entertainment' .. a movie .. is even worth the regular $10+- ticket price as it is ..
    IF you have $100 to toss away .. at least put it towards a good charity instead ..
    (there's several that need help desperately .. including those that serve the Homeless Disabled Veterans)

    No because it is a fantasy movie not reality and reality is that money does not grow on trees.

    As much as I love Nolan's Batman films(in fact the Dark Knight was the ONLY movie I went to see in a theatre twice), they would still have to throw in the snacks, the soundtrack, an autographed poster(or something) and a Batman style "thank you" before I even consider paying 100 bucks to see a movie.

    What does that have to do with anything? Just curious. Us old farts have a lot more disposable income than young folks do thus I see one to two movies a week with the extra buttered pop corn. Have seen all the Batman movies and am looking forward to this one, although I like spider man a little better.
