Without any kind of fanfare at all, tickets for The Dark Knight Rises have already gone on sale, over six months ahead of opening night.
At the moment, only certain AMC cinemas across the US are selling seats, via Fandango, and only for the midnight screenings as July 19th becomes July 20th. Nonetheless, this particular booking will be the real hot ticket for fans, and so it's no surprise that the cinemas are already selling out.
At the time of writing, only the Lincoln Square, New York IMAX is completely full, but Los Angeles is well on the way to packing out too.
While there's no indication when tickets for other cinemas or other screening times will go on sale it's worth remembering that there was also no indication that these tickets were going to come up.
EW reached out to Warner Bros., who had no comment, and Fandango, who had a completely useless comment:It?s unusual for movie tickets to go on sale this far in advance.
Damn right it is.
