The months of hype have paid for Disney and Lucasfilm as theater chains began selling advance ticket sales for Star Wars: The Force Awakens, which will be released on December 18. However, the legions of Star Wars fans rushing to purchase their tickets online, have caused loading issues and site outages on purchasing sites including Fandango, AMC Theaters, and the Alamo Drafthouse.
"Fandango was most seriously affected as of this writing, with the site timing out before the home page loads when we attempted to access it," Deadline reports. "Service for ticket sellers has been spotty all over, and though many fans were eventually able to purchase tickets after several attempts, others are reporting they've gotten access only for these sites to crash again before finalization."
Star Wars: The Force Awakens will blast into theaters on Dec. 18.
