AMC’s CEO Adam Aron is warning ticket scalpers that their purchases will be canceled.
He posted on his X account on Wednesday (August 19) along with a follow-up on Friday to share his thoughts on people scalping tickets.
The announcement comes the same week that tickets for Dune: Part Three have gone on sale, with many fans rushing to buy seats at IMAX 70mm theaters before they sell out.
“Greedy intermediaries gobbling up and then scalping AMC movie theatre tickets above face prices hurt consumers,” Aron wrote. “To protect our guests, and as CEO of the largest movie theater chain in the U.S., I intend to do something about it, limiting or stopping this on your behalf !!!”
He continued, “We have cross functional teams actively reviewing how best we can do something to put the brakes on these wannabe ticket brokers.”
