Marvel fans hoping to secure tickets to see Spider-Man: No Way Home have hit a rough patch.
Tickets went on sale in the early hours of Monday (29 November), although cinema websites in both the UK and US crashed due to demand.
While waiting for tickets to become available, many fans tweeted their dismay and disappointment at the long wait times that led to them failing to buy what they wanted.
Shortly after tickets went on sale, they were soon listed on eBay for prices ranging from $200 (£150) to $25,000 (£18.7,000).
The New Jersey-based user who listed tickets for the latter price was offering an undisclosed number of tickets, and wrote at the bottom: "If you know then you know."
Another user listed five tickets for $14,200.69, telling bidders: "Price is not negotiable."
A ticket to see Spider-Man: No Way Home in the cinema costs between $10 (£7.50) and $20 (£15).
AfterComicBook.com's Brandon Davis shared a screenshot of a listing, many criticized the seller.
“Imagine the person who thinks of a ticket for a movie that will be easily available in a day or two,” said one, “that is an abuse and seems illegal.”
One fan decided to "just watch it on Disney Plus in a few months", although a fellow Marvel lover pointed out that this could prove difficult as the film is a joint production with Sony.
There is particular excitement for Tom Holland's third standalone film due to the return of many characters from previous non-Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) Spider-Man films.
This will be due to the Multiverse, a series of alternate worlds with a wide variety of characters, dead and alive.
It is known that villains including Doctor Octopus (Alfred Molina), Green Goblin (Willem Dafoe) and Electro (Jamie Foxx) will return. Many fans are convinced that former Spider-Man stars Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield will also appear in some capacity.
