Default How do they get them soooo quickly???

My wife is a big fan of George Michael who announced his tour dates last night and they went on sale at 10 this morning

Well I was on the phone hearing the BT recorded announcement at10.00 exactly also the website had run out of tickets by 10.04!!!

Check out ebay and they are already selling front row tickets !!! for £300 - £400

Happily pay £100 each but how do they do it!!!!

Was talking to somebody recently about this, same with any huge money making scams (touting) lots of back handers are given.

As soon as the tickete are released, lots of pre prepared credit card orders are just processed.

Very annoying but has been going on for years

dunno exactley how it works re the order they're given out, but I thought I'd have a go and was lucky enough to get some, but the amount they're selling for on ebay is mental. I got main arena floor seating tickets at £66.50 a seat.

Managed to order three from ticketmaster at 10:45 this morning even though it wouldn't let me get them at 10:00! Think the server was suffering overload!!

Just been back on the website now to find they have added three dates at Earls Court and there are still tickets available. Wish I'd waited now as I would have prefered Earls Court to Wembley Arena.
