TM itself can fuck off, but a ticket supplier is providing a service, and transferring tickets is part of that service. Unless the seller is literally just handing physical tickets off to a buyer, the mediating service is using resources to facilitate the transfer, which costs them money.
I’d even be fine with resale prices limited to original sale price plus a nominal FLAT fee for ticket master.
Why should Ticketmaster get anything from a resale?!
