Yup. You can't be mad at the scalpers really. Be mad at your fellow peers on the demand curve who force the market clearing price to be well above what bands want to be perceived as charging.
Let's say you eliminate scalpers and ticket reselling. Then it just becomes a who can click the fastest race (lame). The only "fair" way to sell tickets below fair market value with no resales is with a lottery. I'll take the scalpers if that's the case because it means I have a much higher likelihood of getting a ticket, albeit at a higher cost.
