Srivani Current Booking SCAM
Let me give my background before going into details. I am a software engineer with more than decade and a half experience in managing enterprise level websites.
I tried to book Srivani Current booking since 15 days. Even today also I am in Tirumala and will be leaving tonight still same error.
I can clearly say current booking form is tweaked by an insider and high tech automation is further used. Let me explain why.
Exactly at 9am I could load form in multiple instances and could go to pay now page by 9:0:51 but after clicking ICICI and pay now i got a consistent error ” Cannot book as quota is full”
This error is consistent and I got it everyday. Funny part is by the time it throws me to home page time might be 9:01 am and around 40 to 60 tickets are successfully booked.
My question is when everyone has 50seconds delay, how could some complete payment process in 7-8 seconds? Payment API response wouldn't be that quick and it would take much longer. This could only be possible if 50 seconds delay is bypassed or insider has tweaked the code in a way this delay is bypassed.
I havent seen a single person in social media announcing they could book in current booking and something big is cooking and hence I would call it a complete SCAM.
Offline Srivani tickets at least was helpful as scams cant be done directly and they have to give to people who come early. But online gave way to completely divert them for money as I heard each one is costing around 5k to 10k extra depending on urgency.
Kudos to TTD for bringing such a system which is rigged and not even bothering about complaints. Hence I feel strongly this is an insider job. Not sure till which level people are involved.
A suggestion to people planning around please don’t keep this option if you are trying on your own instead of an agent or broker.
