And OFC, they will charge you way ABOVE what would be the free market price of the ticket They charge exactly the free market price of the ticket, which does not necessarily have any relationship to the face price. i.e. the amount you would have to offer to find an individual willing to sell you their ticket, if the direct sales ended up to fans instead of the scalpers. This doesn't make sense. If you had a magical way of allocating tickets to the people who genuinely most wanted to attend, the price you'd pay to get one of those people to sell you their ticket would be even higher.
