The Odyssey
what’s actually left

Every seat from row C to the back wall is sold out — on every date, at every showtime. What remains is the front two rows. This is the full inventory for a party of four, read seat-by-seat, ranked least-bad first.

Aseem, Kavi, Emma: tick your name on any showtime you can make — every row on this page, not just the shortlist. It saves for everyone automatically.

Loading everyone’s answers…

Every one of these is in row A. The two split options are running on fumes — Sat Aug 8 at 6:00pm has literally four seats left in the entire auditorium.

The house, honestly

Tuesday Aug 18, 10:00pm — the showtime with the most inventory left. The shape is identical on every other date: a solid sold-out mass from row C back, with availability only in the first two rows and the wheelchair bays.

Row B — four together

7 showtimes · best available

Second row rather than first. It is the only meaningful upgrade on offer, and the blocks sit at the left and right edges of the row.

Row A — four together

11 showtimes · front row

All four of you side by side, but in the front row of an IMAX house for a two-hour fifty-two-minute film. Longer runs give you more choice within the row.

One seat in row D appeared once. Across all 47 showtimes, exactly one regular seat outside the front two rows was ever available — D16, on Aug 8 at 2:00pm. A lone seat, useless for a group, but proof that cancellations do release seats back into the good rows.

If sitting in the middle of the house matters more than a particular date, the play is to watch the maps daily rather than buy now. The run ends Aug 19, so that window is short.
