Cinema websites have ground to a halt after a rush of customers hoping to buy tickets for the new Avengers film brought servers to their knees.
Odeon, Cineworld and Imax all suffered website outages due to the surge in demand, while Vue established a virtual queueing system that cited wait times of more than an hour.

Odeon should have learnt their lesson by now, since Force Awakens you’ve had Major problems with Event bookings like this, it’s unacceptable for the consumer and who ever is in charge of IT or ticketing should get the sack. BAD Service— Warren Bradshaw (@WarrenBradshaw8) April 2, 2019
Angry fans took to Twitter to express their frustration at the outages. Odeon said it was trying to fix the problems, while Vue encouraged customers to book through its iOS app.
