Some of those shows I wouldn't have gone to if there were days or even several hours to decide.
Couldnt you have easily sold those tickets that you bought and had second thoughts about?

The limited supply may make a concert more of an event though which may increase demand but I dont think that should be blamed on scalpers. It gets into that dangerous territory of evaluating who is more of a fan and who deserves tickets.
