Nothing changes
Back in the 1970s, before online sales, major concert tickets were often snapped up prior to public release.
As a regular fan, on first ticket release day, you would go to the physical box office an hour before opening (back then being an hour early was enough).
You would be first or second in the queue, but..... lo and behold, the first 20 rows were already "sold".
Happened time and time again.
On the night, a casual glance at the first X number of rows would reveal the glitterati up front and the great unwashed further back.
Nothing has changed, except the quality of the music.

I have a doppelganger email friend
His wife's and his own first names almost match my wife's and my first names.
Years ago we independently constructed portmanteau email addresses based on cut-down versions of our first names, with one tiny difference.
Same ISP. Thousands of Ks apart.
I often get his emails, usually for his most recent telephone purchase.
I know all about him. So, I got in contact.
I now just send his emails on to him and destroy my copy.
