Possibly and Internet first–fans turned to the Web in order to purchase Dark Knight tickets off of sites such as eBay and Craigslist. Usually fans turn to the web in order to buy hard-to-get tickets for music concerts and other events, but with fans lining up more frequently for big-name movies, scalpers may have to add movies to their list of items for sale online.
I did a quick check on the Seattle’s Craigslist pages, and it seems like most fans in Seattle were either able to get their hands on tickets through traditional sales channels, or were uninterested in giving them up. I’ll be pretty upset if I start having to pay $20 to buy tickets from people who go and buy massive quantities…
