Whose genius idea is it to sell tickets a whole year before the release?

Good question.

The tickets have apparently already been sold out.

Nolan is big on 70mm and wants to make it more widespread. Tickets selling out a year in advance is great publicity for that - I'd even say promoting the movie is the secondary motivation. It shows studios and theaters that people ARE interested in the format
