if you're interested in the web fingerprinting methods, it will show you the same ways they're using.
To be fair two lads in our campsite had paid something similar from some scouse lad who had a load of EPO bands, apparently Glastonbury had introduced a new system with an EPO scanner to stop people abusing them and somehow these lads had hold of one of the scanners within the hour.
Yeah i'd say Akamai is the big brother competitor to Cloudflare, they both offer identical products but Cloudflare throws more money at devs so they will talk it up around the office and be more familiar to it. Same deal, they offer enterprise bot management with the exact same detection methods and they have their own queuing system.
But the end result is the same, if you think you're going to do something cleaver with modifying the source in web inspector or pass around queue ids or cookies, it will know and block you. Even pressing 'view source' counts as a very heavy strike against you, or rapidly cycling around browsers/ip addresses/clearing cookies.
Some look to be going quicker than others. London looks to have sold well. I was talking with a friend who lives in Cardiff about going there and that seems to be shifting slowly.
EDIT: On Ticketmaster, Bournemouth and Cardiff look to have sold quicker than others. Maybe I got Cardiff wrong.
This is why I doubt Newsom is the best way forward. I've seen clips of him and he comes across well and I think he could make something work, but this bizarre hatred of California & East Coast states is a problem that's hard to overcome.
But like I said, I don't think you can ever predict the future with these things. I don't know who the favourite for the Dems nomination was in 2004 after Kerry lost to Bush but I suspect it wasn't Obama, yet there he was in 2008 pulling it off. Conversely I am very much aware nobody saw Trump even winning the Republican candidacy in 2016 coming - hell, even after the primaries started and he had a few early defeats, people thought it was all for nothing but nearly a decade later and he's very much not scuttled back to just hosting The Apprentice.
