Online Ticket Scalping, Ticket Resale Sites should be ILLEGAL
Have you ever tried to get tickets (Twenty One Pilots) and then it's a SOLD OUT show? Well, it's probably only sold out on Ticketmaster, but then you can go on Stub Hub, Vivid Seats, Seat Geek, Ticket Liquidator, Cheap Tickets, etc and find tickets. Concerts get sold out really quick because these ticket resale sites buy up all the tickets and then resell them for 5 times the amount. How is this legal? Why is this okay? This just seems to hurt the fans, the venue, and the artists. Please COMMENT below about what you think.

Recently we had a huge issue in Canada as one of the classic Canadian bands the Tragically Hip prepared for the final tour ever due to a terminal cancer diagnosis for the lead singer. But when presale tickets sold out in seconds, and then the same thing happened with the actual on-sale time people were infuriated. It is kind of a catch 22 though, if the prices are too high on ticketmaster people complain all the time. But when the prices are below the demand level for the show we end up with this situation. Not really sure how to fix it myself...
