So you are saying if not fo scalpers, then organizers would charge the same? And why organizers aren't charging same anyway?
As I've heard it explained, LiveNation gives a big commission to the organisers to resell their tickets, to the point where they're really just taking a cut for reselling it under a different name, for marketing purposes. I guess the existence of the old-style in-person scalpers kind of undermines that, I honestly never really understood how those guys existed.
In-person reselling sometimes has legit reasons like person can't or don't want to participate anymore. But in that case people are ready to sell under nominal price.
