Sure things fluctuate in price but how are they allowed such targeted predatory algorithms that change every second ?

The algorithms aren’t really “predatory” in the way that lawmakers would object to. They mostly exist to charge people as much as they’d be willing to pay. That might sound bad, but it also means charging people *lower* prices if they wouldn’t spend anything higher. Sure, that’s getting money from more people, but those people are presumably benefited by the ticket even taking into account the price.
