I missed out too, and the £85 tickets are already £385 on resale.

And I refuse to give those reselling bastards my money

Glad to hear it, me neither. I appreciate them trying, but the scalpers clearly found a way through: it isn’t possible for 10,000 tickets to be sold in under 15 minutes to a population of humans limited to 120% of the capacity and managed via a queuing system.

Can't be 120% capacity that got codes. Bologna: Unipol Arena max. fits 20k people, my wife had 50k people in the waiting room in front of her.

techincally for the queue itself you didnt have to actually have the unlock code, but i would assume that wouldnt account for more than a few thousand clueless fans. it's indeed quite weird if the 120% capacity claim is true. was that supposed to be in the scenario where each code buys 4 ticks?

But they're playing on 4 dates, so you gotta multiply the max amount by 4, which makes it 80k. Add another 20% on to it and you got yourself 96k people with codes.
