Because ticket master themselves are scalpers. Those tickets you see right away for 10X face value aren't customers or even small scalping companies legitimately acquiring tickets at 10am and reposting at 10:01am.

That's Ticketmaster blatantly holding onto inventory and then selling to major scalping sites they have deals with. So they can get around the credit card required rule on the secondary market that they're blatantly apart of. But god knows they'll make sure that individual people can't profit off the tickets, only them, haha.
