That's a question Dark Knight trilogy/Christopher Nolan geeks are asking themselves after advance tickets to the midnight showing of The Dark Knight Rises on July 20 sold out and scalpers are increasing the price by as much as 80% on Craigslist and eBay. Average ticket prices on these sites for the debut showing ranged from $120- $150.
