Ticket sales for Christopher Nolan’s “The Odyssey” generate a major online rush, with multiple outlets reporting long waits and intermittent technical issues when premium large-format (“PLF”) showtimes go on sale. On Thursday, users attempting to buy tickets encounter online queues on AMC’s website and app, with reported wait times reaching about an hour at peak demand. Variety and others say the AMC ticketing system briefly pauses during the surge, while Rolling Stone reports long wait times and glitches not only at AMC but also at other ticketing platforms, including Fandango and Regal. Lifehacker and NBC News similarly describe the queueing and slowdown as part of an effort to manage traffic. Deadline and other sources add that the most immediate sales focus on PLF formats, with standard showtimes scheduled for later in the summer. In at least one update, Deadline reports the AMC wait time later drops substantially, shrinking from roughly an hour to about eight minutes, indicating conditions improve after the initial spike. Overall, the coverage describes widespread, demand-driven strain on ticketing systems during the first day of advance sales for premium screenings.
