I submit that face value of tickets is wildly overpriced which only encourages scalping.
As supporting evidence, I see the actual ISSUERS of tickets operating buyback and resale programs in an attempt to profit multiple times from the same ticket. This includes publicly funded universities.
The face value of ticket price s is wildly underpriced in relation to market values. That’s why callers exist. If they were overpriced scalpels couldn’t exist
