Scalpers

Scalpers are individuals or entities that buy tickets, products, or event passes quickly when they become available, often in large quantities, with the primary goal of reselling them at higher prices later. They typically use automated software or quick purchasing strategies to secure limited items before genuine customers can buy them at the original price. This practice can make access more expensive and less fair for the average consumer, especially during highly anticipated events like concerts, sports games, or product launches. While legal in some areas, scalping is often debated for its impact on consumers and market fairness.
