>there is a gap in the market for whatever reason

A gap that is further expanded by the existence of scalpers, which is a huge part of the problem. They’re making a problem worse and in some extreme cases even making a problem where there wasn’t one or it was at least minimal (happens with concerts all the time). Theres a reason so many big items/pre-orders/concerts etc. have invested in queue systems and limit purchase numbers. The ones that don’t are inviting scalpers.
