    If we all collectively agreed to not buy from scalpers the ticket sellers would have a real incentive to do something against the scalpers. Right now they don’t have to care.

      Would thry?

      The ticket seller doesn’t care if there’s an empty hall, he got paid early on.

      You’re hoping that the scalpers don’t get enough return to be able to justify continuing to play their role.

        Yes, that’s what “If we all collectively agreed to not buy from scalpers” would achieve. I get that that isn’t going to happen but it is still our collective fault.
