Same here. We issued a restraint order against Viagogo years ago, but still receive >30% 'automated traffic' during high demand pre-sales, according to Cloudflare.

Even though we put lots and lots of resources into making it as difficult as possible for black markets, it still seems to be a quick and easy way to make some cash.

You piqued my interest and now would love to know more, are you selling ticket yourself for your own events and acting as a ticket selling platform for others?

It's sad to see you have such a big amount of automated traffic, no wonder why it's so hard to get tickets for high demand events as a human when you're competing with this.

Can't go into much detail, sorry. But yes, we sell our own events as well as events for other organizers.

It's ironic that we only found out about the scale of automated traffic after moving to CF. Before, we were just fire fighting the load during peaks, while thinking our infra is the problem.
