If I understand correctly, the definition of scalping is to buy and sell quickly in the hope of a profit. Ticketmaster is the originator of the tickets (it is not reselling from anyone else), so it cannot be a scalper.
You can't just make up meanings and assume that scalping means selling at an uncomfortably high price.
- costco 3y agoTicketmaster has something called Official Platinum seats where the prices are dynamic and roughly reflect market prices. See https://ticketmaster-us.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/9782440112017-What-are-Official-Platinum-Seats- https://ticketmaster-us.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/978244... Not all events have this though.
