To continue beating a dead horse, this is why I proposed selling for over face value on CP. Yes they are over face value, but both the buyer and seller avoid ticketmaster fees. Ticketmaster takes 25% (10% from the seller and 15% from the buyer). If above face value was allowed here, the tickets are bought by Flames fans, the prices are lower, and ticketmaster doesn't get their cut. It's a lot of wins. Face value isn't illegal, and contrary to the last debate over this, selling above face value is not akin to driving drunk. Seriously.
It would likely also cut down on secret PMs that people send to STHs, like myself, offering to buy/sell tickets. I'm sure there are a few STHs who have accepted these offers.
If you have everything out in the open, it is more transparent. If 100 CP members that are STHs post tickets for above FV, and no one buys, then the prices come down. If there is increased supply and competition, the prices go down.
