It’s time to join Mike over at Retrozap for this weeks Audette Set.
News for Celebration London and Celebration Orlando dominated the headlines this past week. On the 39th anniversary of the debut of Star Wars, tickets went on sale for Celebration Orlando. Fans did what they do best when something goes on sale. Break the website. Just like when the tickets for The Force Awakens went on sale last fall and the mad rush to buy them crashed multiple movie theater and ticket websites, the same happened for the Celebration ticket buying site. If you tried to get onto the site right at 3 pm Eastern time, like I did, you were greeted with error messages. Even when the site wasn’t crashed, for a moment the link on the Star Wars Celebration website directed you to the tickets page for Celebration London. That’s not helpful. I got scared for a second when getting prepared to get my tickets since I was at work and would have to buy them there. Then I learned my work’s Internet security settings blocked StarWars.com. Rough. Luckily for me this is the age of the smartphone. I was able to join the online queue for tickets on my phone and after a few minutes wait, get my 4 day pass for Orlando!
