The Internet lost its mind buying “Star Wars” Rogue One tickets, and we can relate
Star Wars fans, rejoice! The day to buy advance tickets for Rogue One: A Star Wars Story is here and we couldn’t be more excited. So were the fans at large: They basically broke the Internet trying to get tickets.
It’s easy to see why. Between the first, Star Wars-ytrailer for the film and the final, just-released Rogue One trailer, high anticipation has built for this new Star Wars story. While popular movie ticket sites didn’t totally crash, they definitely slowed down a whole lot – and fans began sharing their experiences on social media.
Star Wars had already been waiting impatiently for the ticket presale to be announced for months. The nearer we got to December 16th, the release date, the harder it got to keep from freaking out. false
Then, the day finally arrived. When they finally went up at midnight last night, there was a mad rush.

Sadly, this meant long waits for some. Very long, very stressful waits.
Going on 2 hours of trying to get tickets to #RogueOne
