Bots always seem to buy up the initial offerings within  
minutes. By the time regular concert goers try to buy tickets,  
they are all gone. Then, the tickets find their way onto 3rd  
party sites at much inflated prices.

I don't understand why bots can't be stymied or the ticket  
purchasing process can't be slowed down with "are you human"  
tests.  It's almost as if the initial seller has a vested  
interest in the 3rd-party reseller biz and even justify raising  
the prices if the demand for them increases.
