Tickets for Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey are being resold for up to five times their face value in South Korea, as demand for IMAX screenings has prompted the country’s film council to begin collecting reports of suspected ticket scalping.
IMAX tickets at CGV Yongsan I’Park Mall in Seoul, one of South Korea’s most sought-after premium cinema venues, have appeared on secondhand trading platforms for more than 100,000 won (£53), compared with a face value of 17,000 to 22,000 won (£9 to £11.6) depending on the day and screening time, according to the Korea JoongAng Daily.
