ticket brokers
Event seat resellers
Ticket brokers are intermediaries who buy and resell tickets to concerts, sporting events, and other entertainment, typically at marked-up prices.
They operate in the secondary market, purchasing tickets before the general public or buying up large quantities at release.
The practice is legal in most places, though often controversial when prices soar far above face value.
I got playoff tickets through a broker for three times what they originally cost.
