We don’t have to use one broken market (airline seats) as a model for another broken market (concerts).

Anyway back to the top post - a Dutch auction foods almost all these issues without weird rules.

A Dutch auction kills first day sales and would affect those who need to plan ahead. It will create less ticket sales for medium tiered acts.
Do we (the consumers) care about first day sales?

And maybe we only do dutch auctions for the big acts that have the worst issues with scalping and whatnot.
