Tesco customers wanting to book their Christmas shops are facing massive queues this morning (Nov 15) as hundreds of thousands all logged on together. People on the website said it was constantly crashing and were told there were 200,000 people in the queue ahead of them.
People also spoke of waiting for more than an hour and some said booking one for their parents was like getting ‘Glastonbury and Peter Kay tickets all at once’. From 6am today, Tesco opened its Christmas bookings, which predictably led to chaos.
Many got up at 5am and said they were already in a queue, leading them to question whether it had in fact started earlier - meaning those who stuck to the rules were at a disadvantage. Others waited for long times having been told they were 191,000th in line.
