The Olympic ticket booking system is crumbling.
Half an hour after the start of the second round of ticket sales for the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing this week, the online ticket booking system collapsed.
In a statement released Tuesday night, the Beijing Olympic Committee announced that it had decided to temporarily suspend the second phase of domestic ticket sales in order to improve the technical plan.
“Due to the sheer volume of pages visited, the technical system was not able to perform tasks well enough, and many customers could not successfully confirm their applications,” the committee explained.

8 million hits and 200,000 orders per second overwhelmed the system, according to comments from the Chinese Xinhua news site.
Ticketmaster, which provides hosting, is working on solving the problem.
