There is also a tricky balance to strike on the unfairness of getting a false positive and being blocked for normal activity and the unfairness of using heavy automation and scale to hoover up tickets. I'd probably say they didn't quite get the balance right in favour of the bots on Sunday. The protections offered by Akamai are most likely to pick up homebrew efforts to bot the sale, but the professional ticketing outfits will be well ahead and much better at sailing past detection. One thing I would say is that the sale and the browser fingerprinting process will give a hell of a lot of useful data to the vendors to a) analyse and patch for future sales and b) potentially take sanctions in relation to obvious abuse where they see it. How they respond will say a lot about how they feel about how it went. But they might look at the data and conclude that only a small % of tickets went this way, and decide that ultimately it did its job for the cost that they've budgeted for and no further action is required. No excuse for the back button exploit though. -
Me neither! Seems to be the case for many, so I'm not too worried -

He's ok. Would be somewhat underwhelming, given the calibre of artist in and around Europe in June. How big is he in Holland? -

Surely not The Cure, if Bob Smith was saying they wouldn't tour until the back half of 2025 at all behind Songs of a Lost World. A curious strategy, but one based off the fact he wants another record in the can, no?
