Some groups have the right software and knowledge to manipulate ticket websites, and even use bots to “swoop in and purchase high numbers of tickets at once”.
IT experts say there is a “huge possibility” that high numbers of Oasis tickets a re being purchased by computer bots at once.
He told the PA news agency: “Being the next series of concerts since the demand for Taylor Swift tickets, I would suggest there would be a huge possibility of bots being used to swoop in.” It comes as ticket reseller Viagogo has defended having Oasis tickets on sale for inflated prices on its platform as a “legal” practice following the Britpop band warning concertgoers that passes bought outside of the official websites Ticketmaster and Twickets will be cancelled.
“Our number-one tip for fans using secondary marketplaces is to continue to check prices outside of the first few weeks of sale. “Resale is legal in the UK and fans are always protected by our guarantee that they will receive their tickets in time for the event or their money back.”
