In Australia, a lot of the time if you search Google for specific concert tickets, Viagogo will come up before the official ticket reseller results.

My mum got stung by this and accidentally bought $800 of tickets from them for a show in December (that should have cost $400. Tickets were still available on Ticketmaster)

Tickets were bought 3 months ago, and Viagogo won't give her the tickets or seating Information until 1 week before the show. After some reading this is apparently how they work.

Every single aspect of their service is a dark pattern.
