A couple of viewpoints given to me by a friend:

- They are providing a service. There is always tickets available for a price. If I have a hot date and she indicates that Flames games make her so hot, then I can get tickets.

- The same guys were also there in the lean times too. Yes, they were buying tickets for 1/2 price and selling them for 3/4 price, but in those years all those corperate tickets got used somehow, and it's the corperate seats @$107 each that keeps the team here; not me and my $36 seats.

- Also because it's always the same guys there I know I can feel safe buying the tickets. The Flames may also have never had a problem with those guys, so they don't want to force them away and send the scalping underground.

I'm not saying I agree, but they are points to consider.
