Pre-sales for Rogue One: A Star Wars Story crashed Fandago’s website due to the large numbers of people attempting to buy tickets.

Tickets went on sale at 12:01 ET Monday for the first Star Wars standalone film, which hits U.S. cinemas on Dec. 16. Within a few hours online advance ticket seller Fandago crashed, reports Fansided, with customers experiencing long waits on an online queue before receiving a time-out message.

Fandago was aware of the mounting situation early in the evening, telling customers in a tweet that a “wait room” had been created:

Due to an overwhelming amount of traffic, a wait room has been activated. Get #RogueOne tickets soon, you will. https://t.co/Hw6l2LkDYZ pic.twitter.com/4XiYvTMRhT

Fandango’s crash prompted its competitor Atom Tickets to snag disgruntled customers, telling them to head try out their ticketing platform app.

No worries! You can still buy tix AND exclusive gear through the #atomtickets app! #RogueOne

— Atom Tickets (@atomtickets) November 28, 2016

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story is set in the time just preceding that of the first ever Star Wars movie and features Jyn Erso, played by Felicity Jones, who “leads a group of unlikely heroes to steal the plans to the Death Star, the Empire’s “ultimate weapon of destruction.”
