Reeks of "you need a lifetime of experience for this entry-level job"
Yeah it's for mayor, but if this really is "the land of opportunity" (I know it isn't, just humor me) then people shouldn't have to be lifelong political agents before even thinking of running for anything.
Feel like you answer the title question in your post and should prob change it: It's because they suck, that's it.
A more accurate title for what you seem to be trying to get across is "Why aren't people more mad at the ones who buy from scalpers?". And to answer that: Scalpers "drew first blood" by overcharging in the first place, they "started the fight", so people usually (correctly imo) hold them more responsible than the fans who just want to enjoy the thing and are willing to overpay to do so (Likely reluctantly I should add, basically no one is happy about being overcharged for something).
