| The online marketplaces are simply filling the gap that was previously filled by eBay or the blokes standing outside the arena in trench coats selling (often fake) "spares". The secondary marketplace existed long before the internet did.
It comes down to whether people should or shouldn't be allowed to resell tickets. For football, for instance, there is public order legislation that prohibits this, but it doesn't apply to anyone else. If you want to ban the reselling of tickets, who polices it and who bares the cost? Is it an issue for the authorities or the event promoters? At the moment, we have a series of individual and confusing systems which vary from event to event - and that's not helpful for anyone.
If we are to allow the reselling of tickets, then why shouldn't basic supply and demand take hold?

There was a high profile issue in the USA a few years ago where Ticketmaster redirected buyers, for Bruce Springsteen tickets, straight to a resale site despite tickets being still available at face value.

It won't change a thing in fact it will push more sellers to totally unregulated sites like the eBay owned Gumtree, and craigslist.

Yeah, I'm sure people will be queueing up to buy tickets from Craigslist. The only stories I've seen in the news about Craigslist are of 'meet ups' gone wrong that have ended in attacks and murders!
