Why do you want them to revoke the ticket? Is it because he acquired a limited resource and is now profiting from the demand? Is it because you want to go, but don't want to spend $2000?

Registration is for people who want to attend, not scalpers.

Why do people hate the free market when it doesn't suit them?

Since when does the free market mean Google can't say "non-transferrable ticket, intended for developers only"?

But as long as Google will sell anyone a ticket and allows the tickets to be transferable, you can't be upset about someone reselling tickets.

Looks like they aren't transferrable[1]:

"Tickets may only be used by original purchaser. Tickets may not be resold. The resale of a ticket will render the ticket null and void without any responsibility to Google."

Why not?

I can support free speech while still being upset by bigoted speech.
