Spot on there.
Sort of unrelated, but familiar territory. I have a little girl at home who simply had to go see the Cyrus kid in concert. So as soon as ticket go on sale I try and get some. Well they sold out 2 shows in 8 damn minutes. 8 MINUTES! Tickets were a couple hundred bucks a piece.
Then looked at eBay and the same seats I was looking at were selling for 4 figures each.
And that is what happens a lot, brokers buy huge masses of tickets in one fatal swoop, then offer them through other outlets (such as eBay) at 300-400 percent profit.
There needs to be a law, seriously.
