Honestly I've never seen ticket arbitrage as a bad thing. These venues are selling below market price and then people get upset when the obvious thing happens. Essentially they are trying to operate using some sort of private club model where it's first come first served instead of supply and demand driven bidding. Yet they simultaneously want to sell these tickets on the open market. So what did they (and everyone else) expect would happen?
I see ticket scalping as a natural and good outcome. If you want a private club then start a private club but honestly you will still have to deal with members attempting to scalp since you aren't charging market price and our broader economy uses more or less free markets.
