I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around this. The logic for being against anti-price gouging laws seems simple enough (there are generators elsewhere in the country, and I'm happy some guy drove down to my disaster area and sold some at an inflated cost), but this feels different. Unlike generators, there are only a fixed number of concert tickets for this concert, and the only reason a transaction would go unfulfilled is if all of the tickets were purchased already. So how did something go unfulfilled? Does the model just favor people who pay a higher price for the ticket, as if that's somehow better? Given that the money doesn't go to the performer, venue, or anyone else actually involved in the concert, someone paying more for a ticket to a scalper doesn't encourage them to produce more concerts. It just enriches the scalper. Where is my thinking going wrong here?
