The argument against that is the team doesn't want to price everyone out of the game. Sure, they can charge high prices for the lower bowl type stuff, but they don't want to squeeze out everyone so there is (relatively) cheaper tickets in the upper bowls.

I see the moral side of that argument, but I agree with GGG that the scalpers are simply taking an intermediary risk and have to deal with both profits and losses. Playoffs are just good profit times for them as demand far exceeds supply.
