The moment they do, you try to get two tickets. Can't get two tickets. Try the second day they'e playing the 02. Can't get two tickets. So they all went in about sixty seconds apparently. Nothing dodgy or unfair there, I'm sure.
I wanted to see Muse at Singapore, and was told it was sold out in a couple of minutes IIRC.
If each call was, say, 30 seconds, it would require maybe 5000+ phone operators to cope with that - i.e. bullshit.
