I’d they charged $199, then the scalpers would sell for $399 and pocket $200. I’d rather see the investors get it than scalpers. But the prices are too high for me to see this show again. I’ve seen jackman several times and don’t need to see him in this show.

What percentage of people are carrying around $400 IN CASH (per ticket - or $800 for a pair) these days? Ok, maybe a few 1%ers in their Teslas or whatever they are driving, but most people don't carry very much cash. They are most likely not going to give a scalper info to pay them by Venmo or Paypal, etc. which can somehow be traced to their phone. And what percentage of people going to a hit show pay the scalpers? Screw the scalpers, too! I have no sympathy for the producers, who stand to lose a relatively small percentage of what they are massively over-charging, even in that case.

Scalping occurs on resale of tickets on Ticketmaster and other sites. It’s not as much on the street. But it is a lot of online resales through legit sites.
