There's loads of seats available, they're just being sold at different sites now. If you want a decent seat for this you're gonna have to cough up £200 plus or else make sure you bring your binoculars.
Kinda OT now but funny anyway. My mate (bearing in mind we are from Glasgow) was down at Everton for the Chelsea game and asked a tout how much for a ticket, tout said £150. He said na beat it. Along comes a chinese guy, how much, tout said £300. Out comes a bundle and pays for the ticket. Tout just smiled at my mate.
touts do not use bots, ****ing hell. You obviously dont know any touts mate. Honestly, dont matter what ticket site they use, this **** happens. can only handle so much volume, all down to luck
Quote: Advances in technology have changed the way we purchase concert tickets, make restaurant reservations or book hotel rooms, but recently, these advances have been used to give certain parties an unfair advantage, helping them snap up tickets to concerts theyve no interest in attending or making reservations at restaurants theyve never heard of. Enter the bot, a computer programme which automates the process that a human would go through when purchasing tickets or making reservations. Networks of bots botnets are used by cybercriminals to send spam messages and spread viruses, but the humble bot alone has now spread to entertainment. There have been an increasing number of cases where bots have been used by ticket touts to automatically purchase huge numbers of concert tickets, make restaurant reservations or book hotel rooms the moment they become available. The result: the ordinary punter misses out altogether or gets ripped off when they see the tickets turn up on another site seconds later at ten times the original price.... One organisation to suffer is Ticketmaster. Last year it admitted that nine out of of ten hits on its US website come from bots on its busiest days. Bots are causing problems on this side of the pond, too. Take Westlifes farewell tour, which took place last year. Tickets sold out in minutes and an investigation discovered that about 150 tickets were purchased using a small number of credit cards registered to addresses in the Milton Keynes area. The tickets were bought within seconds of each other and were in the same area. Ticket fraud experts Iridium Consultancy, which carried out the investigation, said it was virtually impossible to obtain sequential seats by manually typing in details to buy tickets. So what is being done to prevent these bots which can be bought online and how easy are they to detect? Bots present very difficult problems, so this is an arms race between companies like us and the individuals who create bots, said Ticketmaster in a statement. These people are continually innovating and refining bots to make them harder to identify. We invest millions of pounds in technology to differentiate real fans and have a series of automatic checks in place, including reCAPTCHA and IP address monitoring. http://metro.co.uk/2013/08/23/no-th...bots-stopping-you-from-going-to-gigs-3933861/
Exactly the same as me. I wanted 6 110s and kept getting knocked back. Just a big scam. The majority of tickets will be on reseller sites now. They can get fooked. I'm watching in boozer. Fuming. :fire
Anyone paying that for a 30 quid seat is crazy, especially as there's a chance another 20,000 tickets will go on sale
The black market companies/shitbags that dish the tickets out to touts do indeed use bots and people to claim as many tickets as possible in the quickest time. And the the likes of ticket master etc are in on it too, they get boxed off. It's all a ****ing scam, and there's been plenty of programmes exposing this scam yet **** all changes.
