People Are Selling Opening Day 'Avengers: Endgame' Tickets On eBay For $15,000

PHILADELPHIA (CBS/CNN) -- Due to high demand, people are selling tickets to the new "Avengers: Endgame" movie online for big money, with one listing going for $15,000. The movie won't hit screens until April 16, but pre-sales have crashed the sites of ticket retailers, including Fandango and AMC.

Some see opportunity. People have posted tickets on eBay, like this one for an April 26 showing in Langhorne, Pennsylvania, with a starting bid of $600 for six tickets.

"Endgame" is the sequel to "Infinity War," which broke box office records when it premiered last April.

"Infinity War" made a record $640 million for its opening weekend around the world. It went on to make more than $2 billion worldwide.
