scalping is just another way to make a living, and its fair IMO
Then you are embracing capitalism in all its glory, even if it includes creating artificial shortages to raise prices. The point, I guess, is that the people who actually create something (in this case art/music/an experience) would do well and maybe even better without middlemen like scalpers. They don't add any value but rather exploit market mechanics, and there are very good reasons to disapprove of that from various perspectives.
