A big part of Ticketmaster’s business model is making sure scalpers get many of the most desired tickets. They sell the scalper a ticket for $100 and collect a fat fee. Scalper then sells the ticket for 3x the price through one of Ticketmaster’s sites and collects a fee 3x as big on that sale. The artist is in on the scam and gets a cut without having to look like they’re the one gouging their fans.
