Ticket resale (or ticket scalping) is the act of reselling tickets for admission to events. Tickets are bought from licensed sellers and are then sold for a price determined by the individual or company in possession of the tickets. Tickets sold through secondary sources may be sold for less or more than their face value depending on demand, which itself tends to vary as the event date approaches.

Hebben jullie zelf ook ervaring met het kopen bij dit soort bedrijven? Of via anderen?

En er is blijkbaar markt voor waardoor het in stand blijft. Wat mij betreft mogen alle niet-primair verkochte kaarten ongeldig gemaakt worden, dan is het verschijnsel zo de wereld uit.

Als de officiële buro's ook eens hun systemen in orde zouden hebben zodat niet alles vastloopt op het moment dat populaire tickets in de verkoop gaat en men genoodzaakt is om bij schimmige sites te kopen zal dit ook veel schelen , of nog beter net zoals vroegah alleen kaartverkoop via het postkantoor

Denk dat (een deel van) het probleem is dat sites zoals Ticketmaster niet zichtbaar genoeg zijn.
Laat die eens een reclame-campagne opstarten dat alleen zij officiële tickets verkopen (bijv.) of anders de venue waar het concert is.

ben nogsteeds benieuwd naar je argument hierachter

Issues and hearings regarding anti-competitive practices

In 1994-1995 the LA Times published a series of articles by reporter Chuck Philips that helped trigger a federal anti-trust investigation.[25] In 1994 Ticketmaster's tickets often had surcharges as large as 25% of the base ticket price. Moreover, an unwanted and unnecessary tying of services (such as parking and conveniences) to the cost of the concert placed an unfair burden on customers and constituted an anti-competitive practice according to a legal analysis [26] of investigative pieces by Philips.[27][28][29][30][31][26][32]
The grunge band Pearl Jam petitioned the Antitrust Division of the United States Department of Justice, complaining that Ticketmaster adopted monopolistic practices and refused to lower service fees for the band's tickets [25] Pearl Jam wanted to keep ticket prices under $20.00, with service charges no greater than $1.80. Fred Rosen of Ticketmaster refused and because Ticketmaster had exclusive contracts with many of the large venues in the United States they threatened to take legal action if those contracts were broken. Pearl Jam was forced to create from scratch its own outdoor stadiums in rural areas to perform. Pearl Jams efforts to organize a tour without the ticket giant collapsed which Pearl Jam said was further evidence of Ticketmasters monopoly. An analysis of Philips' investigative series [28][29][30][31][32][33] in well known legal monograph [26] concluded that it was hard to imagine a legitimate reason for their exclusive contracts with venues and contracts which covered such a lengthy period of time. The authors said, The pervasiveness of Ticketmaster's exclusive agreements, coupled with their excessive duration and the manner in which they are procured, supported a finding that Ticketmaster had engaged in anticompetitive conduct under section 2 of the Sherman Act. Members of Pearl Jam testified on Capitol Hill on June 30 of 1994. Pearl Jam alleged that Ticketmaster used anti-competitive and monopolistic practices to gouge fans. Congressman Dingell (D-Mich.) after Pearl Jams testimony before congress wrote a bill requiring full disclosure to prevent Ticketmaster from burying escalating service fees. Pearl Jams manager said he was gratified that that Congress saw the problem as a national issue.[34]
Later in the year the Justice Department opened an investigation into anti-competitive practices in the ticket industry. It continued for close to a year until July 6 of 1995 when the Justice Department abruptly closed its antitrust probe in a two-sentence press release.[35] The announcement came shortly after the Arena Auditorium and Coliseum Coalition organized by Fred Rosen, then head of Ticketmaster, hired the Phoenix law firm of Brown and Bain. Investigative reporter Chuck Philips notes that the firm's partners then occupied top posts in the anti-trust division, including the head of the anti-trust division Assistant Attorney General Anne K. Bingaman.[35] Brown and Bain denied any collusion and the Justice Department concluded that there was competition among music ticketing agencies in the industry. A spokesman for Pearl Jam told the LA Times Chuck Philips, Unfortunately, those who will be most hurt by the Justice Departments cave-in are the consumers of live entertainmentThe consumers are the ones who ultimately pay for the lack of choice in the marketplace.
[edit]Prominent lawsuits

On April 28, 1997, Ticketmaster sued Microsoft over its Sidewalk service for allegedly deep linking into Ticketmaster's site. The suit was settled after a two-year legal battle in which Ticketmaster claimed that linking to specific pages on an Internet site without permission was an unfair practice.
In 2003, the jam band The String Cheese Incident and its associated booking group, SCI Ticketing, sued Ticketmaster arguing that Ticketmaster's exclusive use contracts at most US venues was a breach of the Sherman Anti-Trust Act. This lawsuit was settled in 2004 with no publicity of the settlement terms.[36]
In 2009, Ticketmaster faced several lawsuits across North America, claiming they conspired to divert tickets to popular events to its ticket brokering website TicketsNow, in which the same tickets were sold at premium prices.[37] This also raised the ire of rock legend Bruce Springsteen, who said he was 'furious' at Ticketmaster,[38] and "...the one thing that would make the current ticket situation even worse for the fan than it is now would be Ticketmaster and Live Nation coming up with a single system, thereby returning us to a near monopoly situation in music ticketing".[39]
