Resellers
There are so many reseller apps and people you can find anywhere.

Also, many resellers are frauds meaning wrongful and purposely deceiving people. Resellers buy concert tickets right when they go on sale increase the prices and sell them to fans. Some resale sites like SeatGeek and Stubhub don’t set limits on how much resellers can charge which leads to outrageous prices upwards of $1000 dollars a ticket.
