> if, on average, scalpers didn't get their payout, then they wouldn't take the risk

The point is they can get their pay-out while the venue/artist and consumers win. Scalper gets paid. Venue and artist get stability. Consumer who buys from the scalper gets availability. And the other 90% of consumers get cheaper prices.



I see, I guess that makes sense in theory.
