Scalpers are no different from any other retailer, they buy a product, jack the price as high as the market will bear then sell it on, they take a risk on it selling and unlike most retailers it's a time limited risk, they take a bath on some concerts, make money on others.

You make it sound like scalpers are saints and that they're doing everybody a huge favour by investing their own money into getting these tickets, as if people aren't capable of logging into Ticketmaster themselves.
They're just scummy people, doing a scummy thing.
So tell me this then, what would be the negative effects if scalpers weren't involved?
