And this is why scalpers do what they do. They know that there will always be someone who will be willing to pay far more than he should have to pay just to see an event which, in many cases, may not be worth the regular price of admission. If people refused to pay the scalpers' prices, it wouldn't be too long before the scalpers became extinct. They just wouldn't be able to afford to keep it up.

In a perfect world, I suppose.
