It isn’t even 11 a.m., but many Marvel fans have already had a long day.
Tickets for Avengers: Endgame went on sale this morning around 8 a.m. ET, and it seems that most major movie theater chains weren’t prepared to handle the influx of site traffic. The sites for AMC theaters, Alamo Drafthouse Cinema, Atom Tickets, and more ranged from incredibly slow to completely unresponsive.
Twitter quickly flooded with complaints from fans who were unable to get their hands on tickets. Many made jokes. …
Can’t believe #Thanos already won the #Endgame by destroying half of the AMC’s server!
