Cinema websites crash due to high demand in Avengers: Endgame tickets

Whatever it takes…to get those f*cking tickets!

It’s been quite a day for cinema goers around the UK. With Avengers: Endgame tickets finally being released, Marvel fans desperately scurried to their nearest source of internet to purchase their tickets for the final film in the Infinity Saga, but there was a few *ahem* technical difficulties to say the least.

The websites of theater companies such as Odeon, Vue and Cineworld were found to be in turmoil as film fans across the UK caused mass online queues as the did their best to get tickets for arguably the biggest film of the year.

Fans noted how Vue in particular had customers added to virtual queues for up to an hour in order to wait their turn to purchase their own Avengers: Endgame tickets.

With the suspense that the film’s marketing has been building for the past few months, is it any surprise that there is such demand to see it?

In the four trailers that have been released so far, we still know next to nothing about what the film will entail apart from the obvious task of taking down Josh Brolin’s Thanos once and for all. The latest trailer – which was released today in honour of Avengers: Endgame tickets going on sale – can be viewed below:

The trailer shows a lot of new footage, but nothing that helps in giving away the film’s actual plot. We also get to see Tony Stark and Steve Rogers on-screen together for the first time since they went to toe-to-toe in Captain America: Civil War.

The official premise for Avengers: Endgame reads: “After half of all life in the universe was killed due to the actions of Thanos in Avengers: Infinity War, the remaining Avengers and their allies must reassemble to revert those actions in one final stand.”

Avengers: Endgame is finally released in UK cinemas April 25 and US cinemas April 26 – with tickets available everywhere (just don’t expect to get midnight viewings so easily at this point).
