How can it be that 3 seconds after the tickets go on sale that Ticketmaster are saying no more tickets available?!

It is probably because they transfer 1000's of tickets onto their own resale site. They are legalised ticket touts after all and it is time they were investigated.
I got my tickets for the O2 through AXS.com and even this was a bit of a ball ache. I had to release my front row seats (which would have been a first for me) as you could only buy through American Express and I do not have their card.

Roger Daltrey is doubtful The Who will 'ever come back to tour America'
Melissa Ruggieri
April 7, 2023
You’re doing The Who Hits Back shows in Europe this summer. Any plans to return to the U.S.?
Nothing at the moment. I don’t know if we’ll ever come back to tour America. There is only one tour we could do, an orchestrated "Quadrophenia” to round out the catalog. But that’s one tall order to sing that piece of music, as I’ll be 80 next year. I never say never, but at the moment it’s very doubtful.
Touring has become very difficult since COVID. We cannot get insured and most of the big bands doing arena shows, by the time they do their first show and rehearsals and get the staging and crew together, all the buses and hotels, you’re upwards $600,000 to a million in the hole. To earn that back, if you’re doing a 12-show run, you don’t start to earn it back until the seventh or eighth show. That’s just how the business works. The trouble now is if you get COVID after the first show, you’ve (lost) that money.
