"12 million of which were Ticketmaster Verified Scalpers and StubHub Resellers." -- nm - JaxSean Nov 17, 08:18 2
- right? implying it was just fans buying is gross. -- nm - i.b! Nov 17, 08:21 1
  - At minimum, it indicates that they verified way too many accounts. Did they really think that it was going to be like a 10% purchase rate? -- nm - JD Nov 17, 08:23

all of them ticket scalpers, coincidentally -- nm - hollywood big shot Nov 17, 08:17
"..and as a result, I will be stepping down as CEO. Now please everyone welcome our new CEO, Elon Musk." -- nm - Jovian Nov 17, 08:11 4
- Tbh I would support this. Or PayPal taking it over. - Beryllium Nov 17, 08:14 3
  - To scale up like that quickly is a task. People talk of dynamic scaling, then there's the payment processing mechanisms. Millions of transactions is a hit on any network, firewall, or load balancer. -- nm* - budice Nov 17, 08:17 2
    - And why did they think it was a good idea to have all the dates go on sale at the same time? -- nm - znufrii Nov 17, 08:29
    - It's the slashdot effect. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 17, 08:26
