    I’d bet if you were a lego fan you’d say the same about legos.

    Housing and concerts are orders of magnitude apart in “importantness”. All of the items above are not needed to live. A home is needed.

      People who buy Lego to sell in the future actually do call it investing by the way

        It’s scalping if you have a quick turn around, it’s investing if you take care if it to sell farther into the future. Seeing a recently released limited set for double the price on ebay is scalping, seeing a 20-30 year old mint set for double the price is investing.

      Define a “home”. A cave? A tent? A huge loft? What is really necessary to survive?

          I’d add a place where you won’t get attacked or threatened while sleeping, and maybe where you can store your stuff that also won’t get stolen easily

      Which I conceded in the very first sentence. Seems like neither you nor the people downvoting paid enough attention to catch that, though.

      Blaming customers and scalpers for a problem caused mainly by Ticketmaster can be a bad thing without it being anywhere near as important as housing or anywhere near as bad as inflating the price of same. It’s not a binary.
