Tickets for theater are selling out at the speed of light: who is to blame - bots, bids or hype?
The chief director of the Belarusian State Puppet Theater, Elena Kazkova, explained how sales actually work and why there are not enough seats for everyone:.
"There are only 236 seats in the hall, so for the city, to expand and flow the matter, it is of course not enough. But in our repertoire we increase the maximum number of performances every day. The theater has only one day off - Monday, most of the hall is sold online, some at the theater box office. At the beginning of sales, a huge influx of users leads to technical failures, but the programmers have already strengthened all the capabilities - the site works. We also fight against bots."
Why don't they announce the start of sales? “If you give advance notice, the spectators form that line much earlier than the stated sale time. ".
