Makes me wonder, by ctc2 on Oct 30, 2007 3:16:24 GMT 1, In the U.S. there is a Federal investigation into ticket brokers who have software which allows them to purchase tons of tickets online when concerts go on sale with multiple addresses and credit cards. In essence, the software automates the entire purchasing process where one person can place hundreds of orders at the same time. I wonder if it works on things like POW releases? The money would be just as good if not better than ticket scalping.

The article went on to explain that the programs were sold by companies that were responsible for creating the checkout software and it was staggering how many tickets were sold to the subject high demand shows in less than thirty seconds.

Makes me wonder, by tomdc85 on Oct 30, 2007 3:48:01 GMT 1, I can't complain as I (think) I have a coloured trolleys (save me Dora!), but it did seem strange that despite being bang on the money with my refreshing and furious basket clicking I couldn't get through on the signed bw. It was quite literally blink-and-you-miss-it stuff. Other than the PROTX issues, I bought the coloured edition comfortably and a friend got a bw unsigned without any problems. You would expect the traffic to be at its peak for the unsigned since the email had just gone out, but still - it sold out SO FAST.
edit: wouldn't having one of those irritating read-the-wiggly-writing-with-lines-through-it things solve the problem?
