Christmas markets: The grand glitter

75,000 tickets were available for the Christmas market in the Ravenna Gorge – and they were all sold out after ten hours. Apparently, Germans are very free with their money during the Advent season.

A big concert doesn't begin with the first note; it begins with the ticket presale. This transaction depends on two things: speed and a stable internet connection. Anyone who wants to be there when Taylor Swift performs or when Oasis reunites after 16 years needs to be in front of their computer the moment the presale starts. Because the tickets sell out quickly, often within minutes. Sold out!
