On the other hand, if it's worth your time to scalp tickets then you aren't part of the upper class.

Edit: but I do agree, fuck scalpers

I'm not well-versed on the subject, but is ticket scalping not a large-scale business at this point? Like, yeah individual ticket holders can be opportunistic, but don't bots buy tickets by the thousands as soon as they go on sale?

Most of those "businesses" are run by just one person, or maybe a few friends. And how much money do you really think they could be making?

With that logic, we can say scalpers are class traitors, then!
