I think that ticket resales are often one of the worst things in the live entertainment industry. When there are still many tickets available, but at a much higher cost, it makes many people not want to or unable to see a show. If states and the United States were to tighten the laws on ticket resales, bots, and brokers, I believe that live shows would be much more accessible for the general public. Also, in terms of paperless tickets, I think it is a little odd that New York, with Broadway and such, is the last state to have them. I believe that paperless tickets make resales a little more difficult. They also make it a little easier for some people, as they don't need to keep track of their ticket, only have their phone.
