What is most agravating about scalpers is that it makes tickets unaffordable to the average buyer. For example - tickets to the Kansas Speedway are $ 145 a set (one Busch & one Nascar ticket) the race is sold out forever - for all practical purposes. There are never any tickets available - they are supposedly adding 30,000 seats a year but those are apparently already sold. My rant - either the people who own Kansas Speedway are content to settle for much less than what the tickets would bring, just so they are "sold out", or they approve of the massive scalping that goes on by making the tickets available in large numbers to scalpers. There needs to be a limit as to the number of tickets one can buy, or something so that everyone has an opporunity to buy them. If state laws against scalping were enforced this would stop. Ticket outlets like Ticketmaster and those who sell tickets on E-Bay for more than face value are violating state law in most states and enforcement of these laws would end the practice.
