Whle I agree with him that “the law” is not being followed, I disagree that the government should “do something about it”.
If the free market dictates that there are people willing to pay $2000 for a rare item then so be it.
What this shows to me is the failure, once again, of The Government in trying to impart a solution, as all government solutions that try to change the natural laws of supply and demand are doomed to be.

Allow the person the chance to purchase the ticket at face value, if not he can purchase it at the value someone else is willing to sell it at. But, as of now, he never had the chance to do that[face value].

I’m not a CPA, so maybe someone can answer this. If a business buys one of these tickets or package deals and either gives them to a valued client, or as a reward to an employee for services rendered (eg. top salesman), can the company write the tickets off as a business expenditure? If so, it sounds like Joe Average whose priced out of the game also has to make up the difference with his own taxes. Is this correct?
