Ticket Exchange is the secondary market, the teams and Ticketmaster are able to keep a portion of that mark up in the secondary market in exchange for facilitating a trustworthy transaction. The Flames lobbied the government for changes to legislation in order to legitimize the secondary market which was previously illegal. Ticket exchange is very convenient for buyers and sellers as well.
