Ticket sites make a FORTUNE!
Just listing some tickets for NFL games I'm not going to and looking how much they charge not only to list, but also to buy them!
Stubhub for instance you pay them about a 15% commission, then they hike up the price to the buyer by 11%. So to sell a $150 ticket I get $127.50 but the person buying has to pay $167, giving them a total of $39.50 per ticket!!!
I bet they push through 1,000's of tickets a day, especially in the NFL season, they must all be walking around with boners! Yeah, they take a lot of the risk, but do make you give a valid credit card for payment if you sell junk/stolen tickets, but regardless that has to be less than 2% of the time.
Now I see why they're are so many ticket sites going up like crazy
