Here's How It Happened

Ariana Grande’s tour dates usually have strong resale demand, with prime city shows and good seats often flipping well above face value. We know this, resellers know this, so there's a low chance an ordinary listener would have purchased these tickets ahead. But how?

  • Having multiple accounts is key. Platforms such as Ticketmaster, AXS & more always impose limits on purchasing tickets. This is to deliberately stop resellers from buying all the tickets and selling them higher to actual fans.
  • Ever faced Error 0011 when buying tickets? Resellers never get this since they use proxies to tell websites such as Ticketmaster that they're from another location.
  • But how about the queue? While you can't directly pass the queue, using multiple Google Chrome Profiles lets you get into the queue undetected when matched with proxies.
  • So how do resellers make the money? It's simple. Buying tickets on many accounts at the same time means you can "transfer" these to friends (their buyers). Resellers list their tickets on sites such as Viagogo, StubHub & more where buyers come directly to them to purchase.
  • Check the image below to see a few members who used the above methods and sold their tickets for huge profits.

Notice: Reselling certain tickets is illegal in the UK which Lunar FBA will never endorse or promote. Ensure you do your research before purchasing any ticket..
