It's not perplexing at all. They have convinced the public the extra fees are justified.

If you have a monopoly, your buyers are paying extra fees, and the cost of goods actually drops, you do not drop your prices.

Uh, no, they haven't "convinced the public" - it's not as if there's any other way to purchase the tickets to events without engaging TM and their extortionate fees. Trying to pretend like TM is a paragon of the free market winning again is just wrong.
