Die Toten Hosen Void Bot Sales, Reset Ratinger Hof Ticket Presale for Sept. 3

The band says automated buyers distorted the first sale and is adding safeguards to give fans a fair shot at the 250–300-capacity club show.

Overview

  • Tickets appeared sold out within seconds after the Aug. 27, 17:00 launch on the official shop, triggering complaints from fans.
  • The group confirmed a “massive attack by bots” and has blocked the implicated purchases pending a new sale.
  • A second presale is scheduled for Wednesday, Sept. 3 at 17:00, with additional anti-fraud steps to be announced.
  • Controls include personalized print-at-home passes, a two-ticket limit, ID checks at entry, and no transfers or name changes.
  • The Sept. 12 concert is the band’s first at Ratinger Hof since 1984, and officials have not disclosed how many tickets were affected or the origin of the attack.
