Yeah. The problem is really scarcity. A venue can only hold so many people. And one of the easier ways to filter out people is to price the item so that only so many would buy a ticket.
That's essentially what scalpers are taking advantage of. They're betting that the ticket will sell for more than the cost to someone, they just have to find that person.
If tickets were $5 or whatever is deemed reasonable, that doesn't mean more people can go, it means a slightly different group of people will go.
