Here's some reading info and links for you to illustrate that you're comments are ignorant of several dimensions of the discussion: https://economics.stackexchange.com/questions/6576/is-scalping-tickets-harmful https://economics.stackexchange.com/questions/6576/is-scalpi...
- ikeboy 7y agoAll of the comments there either agree with me or are talking about non-economic factors. E.g. the first one explicitly says it's not about economic harm. The second says they're taking producer surplus, which is correct if you interpret that as potential surplus had the producers priced higher. The third one also explicitly points out that it's not being looked at from an economic perspective.
