The force awakens an online meltdown

This article was taken from the "Evening standard" about how fans caused the website crash of "UK cinemas" due to the large amount trying to log on and purchase the tickets of "STAR WARS: the force awakens." This began "when tickets went on sale two months before the latest instalment hits the big screen."
This article was written by Alistair Foster who is a show business correspondent.
The article discusses the website failure and how it enraged expectant fans on social networks who claimed "trying to get star wars tickets.. is like pulling teeth." The author shows the readers the entertaining reactions of people effected by the issue.  He used tweets posted to give an outline that covers the situation. Such as the time the sales went on which was 8am and the cinema websites that were causing lengthy delays: Odean, Vue, Cineworld and Cinemas that suffered problems such as BFI IMAX at waterloo.
My opinion on the article is that it was informative yet brief and entertaining to read because of its humour use of quotes from other sources.
