Ticket Websites Situated After Star Wars Presales Launch

It seems that not only our winter tends to come suddenly: American ticketing sites were not ready for an influx of frantic, geeky geeks at the time of the start of ticket pre-sales for the first sessions of Star Wars: the revival of the Force on December 18.



Brief description of the situation:

IMAX's site is slow as molasses. Fandango is giving "Not available" errors. MovieTickets? Down completely.

Death stars really coincided very unsuccessfully for the system administrators of these resources: at the same time as the start of pre-sales, the anticipated half-year was released as the official ZV trailer , so the voltage was at its peak. On the other hand, Yoda does not need to be, as everything will be foreseen so that. Therefore, the Internet was not prone to condescension:

No excuse, @Fandango , @MovieTickets . NO EXCUSE why sites should be crashing. Not like #StarWarsTheForceAwakens has taken anyone by surprise.

No forgiveness, Fandango and MovieTickets. Not that Star Wars took you by surprise.

But, as always, clouds of jokes went :

Here, by the way, is a great example of a new excuse: they underestimated the power of the Force. To PR managers of Yandex:

@MovieTickets the way your app and site are failing gives me the impression you guys underestimated the power of the force ......
