Man who Bought $650 Worth of Tickets for ‘The Interview’ Wants a Refund

The theater offered to give the money to charity, but the man believes that would be an “irresponsible” use of his cash

Man Who Bought $650 Worth of Tickets for The Interview Wants a Refund (Mediaite)

An Ohio man last week bought $650 worth of tickets for The Interview so he could try selling them himself online, but there wasn’t enough demand and he’s fighting a local movie theater to get his money back.

Jason Best bought 50 tickets––at $13 a ticket––from the Esquire Theater in Clifton, with the goal of selling them back (while keeping one for himself). But Sony ended up making The Interview available online, meaning that more people gravitated towards watching it at home, which led to less people seeing it in theaters. As a result, Best did not sell all his tickets.
