I couldn't do it, my conscience would eat away at me, hahaha. I know letting a conscience get to ya over scalping is likely silly, because the reality is the scalpers don't force any one to pay the amounts they're willing to pay...free enterprise, free will.
It's similar to blaming only the drug dealers, view the addicts as victims...well, those victims made/make the 'free will' choice to use drugs. The dealers wouldn't exist if the users didn't buy.
I've personally witnessed over the years many people who out of desperation, or realistically pure selfishness...will pay any price to acquire the best seats at a concert. In the meantime...they don't pay their bills, neglect their kids at times too, as a result of their 'music concert' and related partying addiction...and it is an addiction for many.
For me, music is a passion, and I would never put it above my kids, or any person's well being, including my own. Unfortunately it's not like that for all...for many it's not even about the music...it's about the environment, more about the sex & drugs than the Rock n Roll...sad to say. :(
