London Olympics seems to be generating lot of interest among online users and due to this ticketing site of the Olympics crashed.Hmm sometimes back in Media it was reported that Soasta would be testing this website and ensuring that it remains up and running at all times and under all cases,but it seems that something went wrong again or this media release seems to be incorrect.Though we don’t know as what the real reason,but I feel this incident should be part of my collection so adding this.
Below is press release for this crash,
By Jack Leather - 3rd August, 2012
Furious fans are missing out on thousands of tickets because the official website keeps crashing.
Customers were urged to ‘hang in there’ despite claims the site freezes and deletes orders.
Thousands of tickets are being released every day, with demand high for athletics, which begin today.
One in five seats reserved for officials was empty on Wednesday – hailed as a major improvement.
But some 200,000 football tickets have still not been taken up, along with another 75,000 in other sports – despite widespread claims that the Games would be a sell-out.
British Olympic Association chairman Colin Moynihan said yesterday that he remained concerned about the empty seats.
‘I don't feel any more relaxed today than I did two days ago,’ he said.
‘There's some initiatives that LOCOG have tried to take, [culture and sport secretary] Jeremy Hunt is still looking into this, but it is a subject which has got to tax the minds of those who are responsible for the ticketing each and every day between now and the end of the Games.
