Olivia Rodrigo presale broke Ticketmaster. This is almost definitely a function of the fact that
1) she has lots of fans
2) scalpers now use specialized, $500-per-month browsers designed to hit the virtual waiting room hundreds of times per computer

Someone should get the browser, reverse engineer and open source it. But it sounds like the devs are integrating a lot of services that could kind of be "bring your own" voip api, vpn/private proxies etc.
Maybe implement a proof of work mechanism that would grind computers to a halt if they attempt this with multiple sessions on a single pc but just be a minor burden if used as intended.
