Note carefully what is not said here -- that "verified fans", or any fans, will get the best seats (or will get seats of a quality even remotely corresponding to their purchase time).
Ticketmaster has left their same, bot-vulnerable systems design in place for 13+ years[0], simply because it doesn't matter to them whether brokers/scalpers get the best seats -- they are hired only to move the most seats in minimum time regardless of who gets them. One then has to wonder what their incentive has been to let the bot operators continue to operate the same way all these years[0].
