Did you see any tickets on other platforms afterward? 优子: Yes, but they were much more expensive. I was also wondering how some people could buy so many tickets. 刘娜: Some of them are ticket scalpers. They don't necessarily click manually; some use ticket-grabbing software, also called 'plugins'. 优子: So it wasn't because they were faster, but because they used software? No wonder ordinary people can't compete. 刘娜: That's right. Recently, some ticket-grabbing groups were penalized for using software to obtain tickets and then reselling them at higher prices. 优子: That doesn't sound like ordinary buying and selling anymore. It affects a lot of people trying to buy tickets. 刘娜: Exactly. If they also secretly obtain data from ticketing websites, and the circumstances are serious, it may even be illegal. 优子: Then I'll stick to buying from official platforms. If I can't get a ticket, so be it. I don't want to support scalpers by paying inflated prices.
