I was a big fan of what the Cure did, they played our town and they did not allow any tickets to be resold for anything above what they originally went for.

Non-transferable I think? But you could resell them via ticketmaster maybe for facevalue?

It was amazing, we sat on the ticketmaster page, refreshed over the course of a day and we got 8th row for I believe $75 - it was an amazing concert, and being able to pay a reasonable price for tickets like that was amazing.

How does this not just bias who gets ticket to those with more time preference.

willingness to stand in line for a ticket probably correlates well with fandom

Standing in line is (today) a digital process that a scalper can trivially scale

Why bother if there’s no profit?

It seems unlikely they'd continue to do do that if they weren't able to flip it at a higher price later

X$ for the ticket plus a convenience fee/service fee for standing in line.
