So ticket scalping. This was never desirable to anyone except the reseller in the first place. Concert goers hate scalpers, arrangers hate scalpers and the reseller adds no value to their service. I don't see how it's the least bit interesting.

It's interesting because it could be _my_ profit!

Nevermind the society or the environment. If money can be made, money shall be made, no matter how shady a business /s

'Scalping' ticket is actually useful for society, to be honest.

But yeah, everyone involved likes to say that they hate scalpers. So no one will do anything to help them.

I'm not talking about scalping.

Woodstock was a legendary event.

The tickets would now be considered collectors items.

In that sense you can already resell your Woodstock tickets on an open market. NFTs don't really add anything to this market in particular, so I don't get your point.
