A chockers fail is when a venue, event, or system completely collapses under the weight of being too full — the queue that wraps around the block and still runs out of stock, the app that crashes because too many people logged on at once, the shuttle bus that leaves half the crowd stranded. The fail isn't just that it's busy; it's that the capacity planning was catastrophically wrong and everyone suffers for it. A reliable fixture of festival season post-mortems and Yelp reviews everywhere.
The food trucks sold out by noon — classic chockers fail, they knew ten thousand people were coming.
