Stop Bots from Ticket Scalping with Prosopo

What is Ticket Scalping?

Ticket scalping is when automated bots buy up event tickets in bulk the moment they go on sale — preventing real fans from purchasing at face value. These bots often resell the tickets at inflated prices on secondary markets.

How Scalping Bots Work

Scalping bots are fast and relentless. They:

• Monitor ticket release times
• Fill out checkout forms instantly
• Circumvent purchase limits
• Hoard limited-availability tickets

This creates an unfair market and damages both consumer trust and the reputation of ticket sellers.

Why It's a Growing Problem

With increased demand for concerts, sports events, and festivals, scalpers use increasingly sophisticated bots to gain an edge. Manual verification isn't enough — you need automation to stop automation.

How Prosopo Stops Ticket Scalpers

Procaptcha helps ticketing platforms detect and block scalper bots before they reach the purchase page.

Unlike traditional captchas that frustrate real users, ProCaptcha is privacy-respecting and can run invisibly in the background for legitimate users.
