“burn the scalpers a couple times...not sure how...”
Don’t let one’s emotions control one’s purchase decisions, especially for non-vital things or services. No one buyer can burn the scalpers... though Bowie’s 2nd concert is interesting. Not sure of his motivations, but its economic effects is easily understood. In that market, his second concert increased the supply (seats), thereby decreasing demand for the first concert. Scalpers may not have been in position to buy up the second concert so they were forced to compete at lower prices caused by increased supply.
