Noone thinks concert ticket sales are an open market tho. They have one seller that sets the price, no competition between different sellers.
It only becomes a "market" after scalpers buy all contingent to resell.

Similarly I do not attempt to blame the rank and file employees of the ad tech industry for the actions of their employers, nor of the defense industry for the actions of the government. As an individual living under such a system either you move to make money when the opportunity arises or someone else will instead and you will lose out.
By this logic we should accept that the stronger beats and kills the weaker because it's literally natural.
You're right but in a different way. Scalpers aren't independent, they work for the artists to maximise artist revenue while absorbing the PR hit themselves.
You don't get to enact poor policy, stick your fingers in your ears, then blame everyone but yourself for the place burning down.
