‘Avengers: Endgame’ Tickets Finally Went On Sale, And Chaos Quickly Ensued

Maybe Thanos’ plan to erase half the universe wasn’t such a bad idea: at least it would have been easier to get Avengers: Endgame tickets. It was always going to be a tough assignment, considering the 22nd film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe is arguably the year’s most anticipated movie and Infinity War made a staggering $257 million at the domestic box office during its opening weekend (defeating the previous record set by Star Wars: The Force Awakens), but I don’t think anyone expected a 40-plus minute wait for tickets.

It sounded like a nightmare for everyone, whether trying to purchase tickets through Fandango, Movie Tickets, Atom, the Alamo Drafthouse’s website (which is what I tried to do — after 20-something minutes, I was finally successful), or, uh, does Moviefone still exist Et tu, Moviefone guy Even co-directors Joe and Anthony Russo got in on the on-sale excitement, tweeting a quote from the film: “It’s not about how much we lost, it’s about how much we have left.” Hopefully your local theater has some opening night tickets available; otherwise, you may want to stay off the internet until that weekend.

Can’t load the seat map on Atom Tickets and Fandango’s wait time is over an hour. You only ever get this with Marvel & Star Wars. @Avengers #Endgame pic.twitter.com/6T261nJYAr

It's not like they had a year to prepare for this or anything. Totally predictable fail Fandango and AMC. #AvengersEndgametickets pic.twitter.com/MeoXi5HSHI
