2. Ticket re-sales are voluntary—both buyer and seller must feel that they gain or they would not agree to the transaction.

3. “Scalping” market simply redistributes assets (tickets) from those who value them less than money to those who value them more than the money they’re willing to pay.

4. Sponsors may be injured, but in that case they ought to have raised the prices of tickets higher.

5. Spectators are not damaged, according to economic theory, because those who want to go the most are getting the tickets.
