And therein lies the crux of the free market. Things are worth as much as people are willing to pay for it.

People who want to save money can still go online or be at the right place at the right time can still do so. I believe the majority of tickets sold are sold directly to people who do not pay scalper prices. Those who prefer the convenience and are willing to pay for it can do so. To me, the system works.
