Rant over.
This is an absurd analogy, drunk drivers kill people, enough said.

This view sounds very European, as they have a completely different outlook on the secondary market. Due to scheduling conflicts I had to buy and sell a number of tickets at the 2012 Olympic games games in London, they did have a reselling site but it was not always practical.

A black market developed on Craigslist and i half expected MI5 to show up when completing these transactions. Tickets were traded using clandestine meetings and processes that would not look out of place on a spy show.
