Ticket scalpers are bots that grab tickets the second they go on sale, then resell at inflated prices — the reason fans miss out and organisers get blamed.

What are Ticket Scalpers?

Ticket scalpers are bots or organised operations that automatically purchase large volumes of event tickets as soon as they become available, with the intent of reselling them at inflated prices. These operations use sophisticated automation to bypass purchase limits, solve captchas, and simulate genuine user behaviour at scale.

Prosopo helps ticketing platforms defend against scalper bots by providing [privacy-first] CAPTCHA solutions combined with rule-based access controls that detect and block suspicious purchasing behaviour before damage is done.
