I really have no empathy for the scalper problem.

Don’t go to the concert.

If anything the artists could charge more, seeing as some people will already pay scalper price. They’re doing they’re audience a favor by charging so much less than they’re willing to pay.

The argument isn’t meant to make scalpers seem worse, it’s to demonstrate how illogical it is to treat houses the same way as tickets

Scalpers aren’t even bad.

Just having some self-control and refusing to buy at what you see as an unreasonable price would make their entire business model invalid.

If someone is willing to pay $3,000 for a Taylor Swift ticket, or $1,000 or more for an early PS5, that’s what they’re worth.
