Actually, the reason you are not allowed to sell tickets for more than their face value is because it can negatively affect the business that the tickets belong to.

It's in the Flames best interest to not have fans being isolated by people charging insane amounts for their tickets. Big picture-wise, it's in the teams best interest for people of a wide variety of income backgrounds to have access to the games.

The ticket scalping laws are in place to help buisiness (and capitalism).
