    But how else will ticketmaster get a cut each time the ticket is resold. Also on a resale of a ticket through ticketmaster the tax is applied once again. And the more expensive the resale ticket is, the higher the cut ticketmaster gets.

    Transfers between family don’t get taxed as they are not “sold”.

    Seems like governments won’t do anything because each resale gives tax revenue.

    Kind of like that time Canada was trying to figure out how to tax private second hand sales on platforms like facebook marketplace and kijiji to name a few.
