Inauguration Tickets

[Dr_BuzzCzar]

I'm considering going but due to wife's health considerations it may require us to stay home. I have no objection to the tickets being sold. That's pretty much pure capitalism. You have something I want, what you paid or didn't pay for it isn't the issue. It's worth what a buyer is willing to pay at a given time...and yes Thorne, I can afford to buy them and am willing to take vacation time to go and see a significant historical event, other factors may prevent it though

And this is why scalpers do what they do. They know that there will always be someone who will be willing to pay far more than he should have to pay just to see an event which, in many cases, may not be worth the regular price of admission. If people refused to pay the scalpers' prices, it wouldn't be too long before the scalpers became extinct. They just wouldn't be able to afford to keep it up.

In a perfect world, I suppose.
