In the time of box offices, ticket scalpers still thrived.
- kelnos 3y agoTheir operations were much smaller, though, and arguably they affected overall ticket prices much less. There are only so many hours in the day for you to wait in line (or pay someone else to wait for you) to get tickets. And standing outside the venue for hours trying to sell your tickets is a high-touch, labor-intensive process. Some of these scalper sites sell tickets that they don't even have yet, which helps give them the capital to actually buy the tickets later.
