Roger Waters is coming to Zurich next year for a one-day stop in Switzerland as part of his farewell tour. Through my mobile phone provider, I had access to a ticket pre-sale. Or so I thought. The sale opened at 10am yesterday. I was on the website, I had tickets selected. And then the ticketcorner website completely bogged down under scalper bot load, and I couldn’t complete my purchase. When I refreshed the browser, all the top-tier tickets were already sold out. When I tried to get another set of tickets, those disappeared before my eyes. Within 5 minutes, all the tickets were sold out. And now those tickets, that were 200chf, are available on ticket resale websites for more than three times face value.
I’m going to try my luck again when the main sale starts later this week, but I’m not holding my breath.
