Arguing with you would be like arguing with a libertarian. There is no point arguing with someone so detached from reality.

- ndriscoll 3y agoDetached from reality is selling something way below its value and being mad that it gets resold at the correct price. This is basic economics. It's also easily avoidable by holding an auction with the correct ruleset for the outcome you want. If you wanted to appear less greedy, you could also do something similar to what the government does for bonds: everyone submits the highest price they're willing to pay. Take the top N offers, and all of those people get tickets at the lowest price out of the top N. So you're encouraged to bid what the ticket is worth to you because you almost certainly will end up paying less than that. If 50,000 people (modulo subdivisions for seat distance) agree a ticket is worth at least that much, then ipso facto that's what it's worth. Again it's scalper resistant because anyone you could resell to already got a ticket at the same price you did. Point is there are plenty of documented auction styles to choose from depending on exactly what properties they want. It isn't hard. They obviously prefer scalpers exist.
- thisgoesnowhere 3y agoYeah I'm sure Taylor Swift just isn't as smart as you are and she's just leaving money on the table due to incompetence. If only everyone listened to you the whole problem would go away. The market giveth and all entités are rational.
- ndriscoll 3y agoI didn't say she's incompetent. I said the opposite. I assume her and her team and her industry know how to eliminate scalpers. I said > They obviously prefer scalpers exist. I'm sure they have their reasons for this. But everyone else shouldn't act like scalpers are the bad guy then.
- thisgoesnowhere 3y agoExcept that scalpers are in fact the bad guy.
