One Person. One Presale Code. Real Fans Win.
Scalpers use bots, fake emails, and SIM farms to flood presale registrations. VerifyYou proves each registration is a unique human before access is granted to anyone.
Bots Can Buy Emails. They Can't Buy a Human.
Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour presale crashed Ticketmaster because millions of bot registrations overwhelmed the system. Real fans never had a chance.
The reason: every existing solution gates on something a bot can buy. Captchas verify a click and Verified Fan verifies a purchase history, but both are things bots can fake. SIM farms sell phone numbers for $2 each. Antidetect browsers are free. A scalper can create hundreds of verified accounts for less than the price of a single ticket. VerifyYou gates on the one thing a scalper cannot manufacture: a unique human being.
Some Artists Already Took Control
These artists proved the industry can fight back. VerifyYou gives every artist the tools to do the same.
Robert Smith
‘The Cure’
Fought Ticketmaster publicly over dynamic pricing and scalpers. Demanded face-value tickets and refunds for overcharges. Proved artists have power when they take a stand.
Hayley Williams
‘Paramore’
Spoke out about fans being priced out of shows by bots and resellers. Advocated for systems that put real fans first, not algorithms.
Ed Sheeran
Singer/Songwriter
Implemented strict anti-scalping measures including ID-matched tickets and cancelled thousands of scalped tickets. Showed it is possible to fight back.
Three Steps to a Fair Presale
Integrate VerifyYou into your registration flow. Fans verify once. Bots are blocked forever.
Fan Registers for Presale
During registration, the fan completes a 15-second verification. No ID upload required. Bots and duplicate accounts are blocked instantly.
A Cryptographic Token Is Issued
VerifyYou issues a cryptographic token proving this is a unique person. Same person, same token. No duplicate registrations possible.
Access: Granted. Scalpers: Blocked.
Only verified humans get in. Bots and duplicate accounts are blocked before they ever reach the queue.
What Changes When Fans Are Verified
When bots are blocked, real fans win. And when real fans win, artists win too.
Every Fan Gets a Fair Shot
When every registration is a unique human, the presale queue reflects real demand from real people.
Fewer Angry DMs
Fans stop blaming the artist when they see the system is fair. Trust goes up, complaints go down.
Scalpers Are Blocked at the Source
Bots can create emails. They can buy SIM cards. They cannot create additional unique humans.
Protect Your Reputation
A botted presale doesn't just hurt fans. It becomes a news story. Verified access means the system is fair and you can prove it.
Anywhere Scarcity Meets Demand
Wherever demand exceeds supply, scalpers show up. VerifyYou stops them before they get in.
Concert Presales
Verify fans before access is granted. One human, one registration. Scalpers cannot multiply.
Limited Drops
Sneaker drops, vinyl releases, merch exclusives. Prove each buyer is a unique human before checkout.
Fan Club Access
Gate fan club membership behind human verification. Keep bots out and reward real supporters.
Meet & Greets
The most exclusive experiences belong to real fans. Verify every applicant before selection.
I built systems at Reddit that served 1.7 billion requests per day. I know what it takes to stop bots at scale. Fans deserve better than losing to a $2 phone number.
