Why Is The Secondary Ticket Sale Market Hated By Most Fans But Still Thriving?
TicketNews: Fans continue to vent their anger online about being unable to get face value tickets for many concerts, sporting events and popular shows and most of their disdain is directed towards scalpers (or ‘touts’ for our UK readers).

I have never given the secondary ticket market much thought before, but then again, I haven't gone to see many concerts or sporting events. However, being from Houston, I have seen a lot of Rockets games. The Houston Rockets have been using a secondary market vendor, Flash Seats, for quite a while now. In fact, they have made flash seats there primary vendor. So I wouldn't say that artists and sports team are hiding it anymore, but it depends how you handle the PR for it. The Rockets use flash seats for primary ticketing as well, so you can just use your phone or credit card and it automatically prints your tickets for you.
