Die Toten Hosen Reset Ratinger Hof Ticket Sale After Bot Attack

The band will redo the sale next Wednesday with stronger safeguards after bots overran the first attempt.

Overview

  • The Aug. 27 presale via the band's shop showed tickets as unavailable within seconds of the 17:00 start, leaving most fans empty-handed.
  • Die Toten Hosen said a massive bot attack led to unlawful purchases and announced that the affected tickets have been blocked.
  • A new presale is scheduled for Wednesday, Sept. 3 at 17:00, with the band working on measures to keep automated buyers out and more details to follow.
  • Tickets cost €30 and are personalized print‑at‑home vouchers to be exchanged on show day with photo ID; transfers and name changes are not permitted.
  • The Sept. 12 show at Düsseldorf’s Ratinger Hof is the band’s first there since March 11, 1984, and the roughly 300‑capacity venue has fueled intense demand and mixed fan reactions.
