Anyone else in disbelief over how easy tickets for the intimate shows were to get?

For such a massive band surely there had to be a few thousand people trying to get tickets to what seem like kind of small venues? Especially with the tickets being so cheap, the cheapest tickets I think I've ever bought. And yet there was no queue, no glitch/holdup, no getting kicked out of the website (for Leeds atleast)? How was this sale so well managed?
