Yeah, "The Odyssey" is getting a big promo push but is scalping tickets for a movie really happening?

On one of the talk shows someone declared "The Odyssey" the most anticipated movie of all time. Uhhh, I think people were more excited about the release of "The Empire Strikes Back."

In New York people are paid to stand in line for someone else. They shop for groceries for someone else. They walk someone else's dog and get their dry cleaning. Say you offer concierge services and there is no end to what you can do for someone else.

But yes, its true, the IMAX theatre is sold out and some of those ticket holders got them just to resell. Now are they really getting $400 and up? That's what the radio's been reporting this morning, but I would question that amount for any film.

For a sold-out live concert of somebody with a following, New York scalpers can get that easy. Somehow people find the money for this stuff.
