Thousands of people desperate to hear Bernie Sanders speak in Bristol cause website to crash
20 APR 2017
St George’s Bristol website has crashed this morning as ‘Bernie mania’ sweeps the city.
It was announced this morning that the US senator Bernie Sanders would be speaking at the Bristol concert hall as part of Festival of Ideas this summer, and tickets for the one-off event went on sale at 10am. But since then, the St George’s website has crashed as thousands of people try for tickets, and the phone lines have been ringing non-stop. St George’s has tweeted to say that the website has crashed due to the sheer number of people trying to get through, and that an engineer was working hard to fix the problem.
He will speak about his experience of the campaign and his argument for a revolution leading to a progressive economic society at 11am on Saturday June 3.
