PITTSBURGH, PA - Tickets to Thursday's opening of "Avengers: Endgame" are so hard to come by that Ryan Shazier is resorting to bartering for them. The Steelers linebacker, who continues to battle back from a December 2017 spinal injury, offered to trade three tickets for any Steelers game this coming season for three tickets to the Pittsburgh premiere of the movie.

Shazier is looking for tickets for the 9:30 p.m. show at the McCandless Cinemark HD theater or the
10:30 p.m. show at the AMC Waterfront IMAX theater. He would prefer seats in the middle of the theater.

He insisted in the tweet that he wasn't joking about the offer.

would qualify as the biggest domestic debut of all time.
