Major Updates

A Ticketmaster spokesperson has responded regarding scalping allegations to themusic.com.au, stating "Ticketmaster is proud to be one of the ticketing partners for Adele’s Australian tour. In spite of the unprecedented demand for this amazing artist, Ticketmaster successfully announced two extra Adele shows in Melbourne and Brisbane during the morning. Our sophisticated technology helped to ensure that the tickets we sold ended up in the hands of real fans." Already, reselling sites are capitalizing on the demand, with some tickets going as high as $5,000. Ticketek responded to allegations of scalping to Fairfax Media saying, "We use considerable technical effort and funds in defences against BOTs. At the same time we are working with the industry towards a collective approach to the issue of resale," the spokesperson continued, adding that fans who missed out on buying tickets yesterday was purely "due to demand, not any system issues". "We urge fans who missed out to avoid the resale scalper websites. They are predatory and misleading. There is no guarantee those tickets are genuine and you risk being ripped off."
