Viagogo doesn't have to buy the tickets - they get an allocation which never appears on Ticketmaster at all.
I may be doing the Stones an injustice here - but this is certainly what happens with Viagogo and many other artists. And Viagogo will certainly have their own people buying up TM tickets for them too.

The difference this time is ticket prices have more than doubled. In fact for seats you paid £80 for in 2007 are priced at £326 this time.
Epic fail by Branson and the place will only be about 70% full each night unless there's a massive collapse in prices on reselling sites as the event nears.

There are still enough tickets on Ticketmaster and/or all third party sales agents like viagogo etc. Also seatwave offers hundreds of tickets for both nights. I might be wrong, but to announce a third night in such a short notice with such high ticket prices is not what I believe.

True, but they added a third night in 2007 "due to overwhelming demand" and in fact it was clear to all who were there that the first two nights were 90% capacity, 95% max. Oddly enough the extra date did look truly full.
