Raye has publicly criticized ticket touts for exploiting AI bots to create an overwhelming number of fake registrations for her upcoming Royal Albert Hall concert. A staggering 1.8 million people signed up for the 5,000 available seats for the October 23rd performance.
To counter scalpers, Raye and her team manually reviewed the sign-up list, prioritizing individuals identified as genuine fans. The artist expressed shock at the scale of bot activity, stating she had "never witnessed bots on this scale" before.
Fans selected through this manual process will receive pre-sale links and codes via email. Remaining tickets will then be released for general sale.
The "This Symphony May Contain Hope" show will showcase tracks from Raye's latest chart-topping album, which blends various musical genres and explores themes of overcoming adversity.
