    I got about five and a half minutes through that..... thanks for sharing. The interviewee, Robert, wasn't trying to be an a-hole, but that's exactly what he came across as.
    The fact that these bots are not illegal is the real problem. As corrupt as the Ontario Liberal government is :), I wouldn't be surprised if they receive kick backs from the current ticket distribution monopoly, and/or great tickets to events.

    I hope that Robert character gets doxxed and arrested. I don't ever care what for. I just think he needs to be in jail.

    If it's legal why don't we buy a bot program?

    Ticketmaster is in the secondary market too.

    This is the caveat that speaks to how truly wrong this situation is.

    Yup. Definitely intentional they added extra steps for traditional users. Its guised as preventing bots... but it really gives them more advantage. They backdoor it, while we are stuck trying to figure out what pictures have store fronts in them. To make it more insulting... on these screens they actually say the use of bots is prohibited

    I thought this article was a better read:

    https://theringer.com/ticket-industry-problem-solution-e4b3b71fdff6#.9wyf07xso

    The problem starts long before the bots. The bots can only access the scum that's left during the public onsale. It's the stuff that goes on before the public onsale that's even worse.
