This isn't the free market at first place, it's artificially limiting supply and price gouging as Viagogo provides strictly no added value upon the official ticket retailer. None.
- orangecat 4y agoViagogo provides strictly no added value upon the official ticket retailer. None. It allows people who are willing to pay more to attend, when they otherwise wouldn't have been able to. That's an added value. You can argue that that's outweighed by the loss to people who really wanted to go and who can't afford the market-clearing price, but it's false that zero people benefit.
