No, they were most likely going regardless of the ticket price, they are just less deterred by it.
- saosebastiao 9y agoTheir purchase of the ticket and subsequent attendance literally means that someone else couldn't attend. They, by virtue of wealth, took that experience from someone else.
- castis 9y agoNot sure if you missed the entire rest of the thread, but we're talking about the scalpers. The event attendee in your scenario would have gone with or without the scalpers existence.
- saosebastiao 9y agoThe same number of attendees would have attended. Whether they would be the same attendees is entirely disputed. They absolutely would be different. The person who could afford a ticket at face value and no more cannot attend because greedier people were willing to pay more to displace them.
- castis 9y agoWatching you try and justify greedy behavior is almost as impressive as it is pathetic.

- saosebastiao 9y agoI don't justify greedy behavior, I merely recognize that it exists everywhere, that everybody is guilty of it, and I can't find any sympathy for those that those who complain about the greed of others but never seem to recognize their own.
