    Ticketmaster, which is owned by Live Nation, has reportedly developed a secret tool called TradeDesk that assists professional scalpers to resell tickets in ways that would seem to violate Ticketmaster's own rules.https://www.npr.org/2018/09/20/649666928/ticketmaster-has-its-own-secret-scalping-program-canadian-journalists-report?utm_source=twitter.com&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=npr&utm_term=nprnews&utm_content=20180920 …

        Isn’t it ironic that as the music industry has experienced growing pains in the digital marketplace and bands have had to tour more to maintain income flows, that their ticketseller reaps the benefits of this disruption? #truemusicfan #Ticketmaster #Criminal

        As a frequent concert-goer I've been feeling the pinch for a couple years now. It's so expensive. If there's a $50 concert ticket the fee is 40. You have no options. If you go to a scalper is three to four times more expensive. There's no more waiting in line.

        What a shock - @Ticketmaster has a resale site - so they take a piece of the original sale and then the resale...

        There's no incentive for #Ticketmaster to get rid of scalpers. It might be better if entertainment entities (sports-NFL, MLB, NHL, #concert performers, etc) switch to all dynamic pricing and go direct to authenticated consumers. #tickets #BusinessModel

        The problem is the time between the ticket sale and the event date. Promoters want the financial risk off their books. Consumers generally don't buy until 2 weeks b4 the event. Scalpers carry this short-term debt risk. Event Options can't be used bc consumers r paycheck2paycheck
