1 00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:07,320 Speaker 1: One of the biggest stories in town. Well, it's going 2 00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:09,840 Speaker 1: to be the Taylor Swift tickets, hasn't it? And fans 3 00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:12,000 Speaker 1: are looking forward to the estimated two hundred and twenty 4 00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:14,880 Speaker 1: five thousand tickets to have Sydney in Melbourne concerts going 5 00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:17,320 Speaker 1: on sale from ten o'clock this morning. I could Trevor 6 00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:21,040 Speaker 1: Long on Tech Expert because from a technical Internet point 7 00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:22,439 Speaker 1: of view, this is really something, isn't I. 8 00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:24,919 Speaker 2: Don't think we've ever seen Internet traffic like this, other 9 00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:27,120 Speaker 2: than maybe the Census in twenty sixteen. If we all 10 00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:27,800 Speaker 2: remember that. 11 00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:30,120 Speaker 1: That's right when it crashed. So don't forget. When we 12 00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:31,639 Speaker 1: talk tech, you have to talk to me is on 13 00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:36,080 Speaker 1: a Labrador ticket tech repelled half a billion bots. What 14 00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:36,680 Speaker 1: does that mean? 15 00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:39,120 Speaker 2: So basically the biggest problem we have with ticket sales 16 00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:41,919 Speaker 2: is robots. What happens is one person or a conglomerate 17 00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:44,880 Speaker 2: of people try and buy thousands and thousands of tickets 18 00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:46,760 Speaker 2: so they can then resell them. And what they do 19 00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:51,280 Speaker 2: is they program computer programs to be them and buy tickets, 20 00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:53,240 Speaker 2: but they do it on mass So they'll write a 21 00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:56,520 Speaker 2: little computer program that will essentially emulate what a human 22 00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:58,760 Speaker 2: would do on the ticket Tech website, and the idea 23 00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:01,480 Speaker 2: is ticket tech is able to tech them and stop 24 00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:03,160 Speaker 2: them from being part of the queue. 25 00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:05,560 Speaker 1: What I found interesting was, and I didn't even think 26 00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:07,319 Speaker 1: about this, and I told a few people around the office, 27 00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:09,959 Speaker 1: because everybody as soon as the tickets when I say Wednesday, 28 00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:12,640 Speaker 1: we're jumping on. What happens is that ticke tech will 29 00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:17,600 Speaker 1: register the users logged on multiple devices or workplaces or 30 00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:20,920 Speaker 1: one home as just one user, so they're all coming 31 00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:22,920 Speaker 1: essentially from the same IP address. 32 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:24,679 Speaker 2: Is that right? Here's the thing. I did it the 33 00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:27,319 Speaker 2: other day and at no point did ticketech ask me 34 00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:29,640 Speaker 2: to log in, so I certainly doesn't know if I, 35 00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:33,240 Speaker 2: as a user, am using multiple devices. But of course 36 00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:36,880 Speaker 2: if you're using three computers in one home or workplace, 37 00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:39,720 Speaker 2: then you'll actually appear to ticketech as if you're in 38 00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:43,639 Speaker 2: one location, one IP address. I know lots of people 39 00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:46,039 Speaker 2: who all worked at the same workplace, right, and all 40 00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:48,560 Speaker 2: were in the queue and many got ticket Oh okay, 41 00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:51,360 Speaker 2: So I just don't think that's the case. I think 42 00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:54,559 Speaker 2: that if you're on one browser and you open multiple tabs, 43 00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:56,200 Speaker 2: you know you can have multiple tabs open in a 44 00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:59,559 Speaker 2: small ground. That's bad. It will know that I don't 45 00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:01,600 Speaker 2: think it no if you're using your phone and your laptop. 46 00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:03,760 Speaker 1: Okay, because a lot of us don't understand me, especially, 47 00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:05,600 Speaker 1: but I don't understand anything. A lot of people don't 48 00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:07,520 Speaker 1: understand how an ip address works. 49 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,520 Speaker 2: Every connection to the Internet has an IPEA dress, So 50 00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:13,560 Speaker 2: your mobile phone and your house has an ipea dress. 51 00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:16,400 Speaker 2: But every device, your TV, your laptop, your computer, everything 52 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:19,760 Speaker 2: within your house or appears to the Internet as just 53 00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:21,080 Speaker 2: one IPA address. 54 00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:23,160 Speaker 1: It's not like the days when we were younger and 55 00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:26,840 Speaker 1: we used to queue outside the entertainment c Yeah, yeah, exactly, 56 00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:28,880 Speaker 1: setting out the front there in the cold, waiting for 57 00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:30,680 Speaker 1: tickets to see the Bay City rollers. 58 00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:32,400 Speaker 2: And look what they should be doing, I'll tell you 59 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:34,040 Speaker 2: right now, is they should be making it a ballot. 60 00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:36,360 Speaker 2: If we know there's going to be a million people 61 00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:38,880 Speaker 2: wanting something, just let a million people say I'm up 62 00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:40,840 Speaker 2: for it, I'm willing to spend this much money, and 63 00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:43,760 Speaker 2: then announce the forty thousand people, the eighty thousand people 64 00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:46,280 Speaker 2: who get the tickets. It's the fairest way to do it. 65 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:48,519 Speaker 1: Do you have any advice for anybody that's trying to 66 00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:49,360 Speaker 1: get on the internet. 67 00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:52,160 Speaker 2: The best thing I've been able to ascertain since Wednesday 68 00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:55,000 Speaker 2: is don't get on too early, get on at ten o'clock, 69 00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:58,120 Speaker 2: not beforehand, and just do the one computer because in 70 00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:00,680 Speaker 2: the end you could run six computers and still be disappointed, 71 00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:03,400 Speaker 2: so just keep it simple. There are going to be 72 00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:06,480 Speaker 2: not enough tickets for the people, so people will miss out. 73 00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:08,840 Speaker 1: Because if you want to know anything technical, go to this. 74 00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:11,440 Speaker 2: Website TM dot com. I'm going to touch you. 75 00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:12,079 Speaker 1: Travel along there
