If there's a bots involved, then there would likely be no need to pass over a slot in the queue - in a well designed setup it will already be easy enough to take control of any given session as needed so there'd be no benefit (and actually, introducing a risk as it could f**k up) in transferring a queue slot from one session to another.
Still not convinced that these people roping in hundreds of others to help on their behalf was or is ever likely to be a thing. Just on the basis that anyone in a position to do that (social media influencers, rich bastards, etc), is already likely to be in a position where they can use their status to get a ticket via another route (and probably a Hospitality ticket so they don't have to associate with the unwashed scum like me).
Specifically Gaga would be a poor example (because her popularity and the extent of her tours has decreased very fast after her climax), but I agree, artists like Beyonce and Coldplay sell out massive toura while they aren't really relevant for the charts anymore (don't kill me beehive)
Blossoms last night at Hammersmith, they really have developed in to a stunning live band. They were always fun live but Tom has now become a real polished front man. I am still a little puzzled as to how they are not more popular.
Also, had the bonus of Red Rum Club and Overpass as support.
