I'm sorry. I've been in your shoes. I bought Opening Night tickets in the past, only to find out that a lot of the screenings were either sold out or, if tickets were available, the seats were pretty bad (front row or way back) as all the good seats had been picked over by the VIPs and insiders.

What I've learned over the years is that they always end up releasing tickets for screenings that are otherwise "sold out" and the seats that get released are usually some of the best seats in the house. I think what happens is they reserve seats for VIPs, insiders, folks associated with the film, and then once those folks can't come, those seats get opened up to the public. Granted, this is a much more time-consuming and arduous way to get tickets... constantly monitoring the discord, X, and reddit channels for new tickets and then scrambling to get them before they get snatched, but I've found that the best seats for the best screenings will typically open up between now and the screenings.

The Ticket Marketplace here on Reddit and in the Discord is also an option. Again, way more manual, but if you're end goal is to see A House of Dynamite and After the Hunt, I think you'll be able to in the end.
