Sort of curious about it. Nothing on their site yet though.

a friend managed 30 tickets via a command line script

i though these were impossible to scalp since they are will call and you need a valid id though?

i bet if you had a good enough novelty costume you could walk right in. people would just assume you were good to go.

Wow, what a tremendously fucked-up thing to do. How would the ticket company not catch that?

For the record, I was not one of Fauxmarc's dickfriend's 30 robot recipients! My girlfriend logged on right at noon (I had to be away from my computer) and got us tix after a long wait, and being kicked off like twice... I couldn't believe it, and the shock deepens as I keep discovering just how many people tried and didn't get them. Sorry for everyone, and I wish my apartment was big enough to house you all for the big Kraftwerk LP listening party I'm throwing for my "IRL" pals that weekend (none of whom got in either).
― Clarke B., Wednesday, 22 February 2012 20:42 (twelve years ago) link
When I rule the world I will outlaw online bookings and make people wait in line at the box office for tickets. This is the only system that even begins to make sense. I remember when ppl used to camp outside box offices for 24 hours to be in line for Springsteen and U2 tickets, if you were prepared to do that you got your tickets. Obviously it would mean that people who can't get to the box office would lose out but I think something has to give.

tickets should just be auctioned
― iatee, Wednesday, 22 February 2012 20:45 (twelve years ago) link
artists would make more money
people camp out in front of the apple store to buy iphones - but not for concert tickets. welcome to the future
― geeta, Wednesday, 22 February 2012 20:45 (twelve years ago) link
Anagram, I totally agree. People should have to sweat a little for the really difficult-to-get tickets. I hope the Iron Maiden shows in May don't have the same ridiculous crunch/failure rate--although given that they're playing small arenas, I doubt that...
― Clarke B., Wednesday, 22 February 2012 20:50 (twelve years ago) link
iron maiden at MoMA = urgent and key
― geeta, Wednesday, 22 February 2012 20:54 (twelve years ago) link
apple creates reasons for people to camp out so it'll get on the news. some random show isn't gonna get media attention if some people are camping out all night, so it'd just be meaningless inconvenience.

tempted to call BS on the 30 ticket story
or if true, good luck rolling up to the will call to claim those

i know at least a few majordomo music types who are lamenting on facebook that they couldn't score either

pretty sure the 30 ticket story is bs...have heard it repeated across the web but no one has any details

if it's true there's no way the person won't get caught since they are blabbing so much about it...so at least there's that.
