Just bypass the criminals and get the ducats from the actual performance venue if you can and the beauty part about it is that you will save $ or Euros !

How about all the organizations that are in cahoots with all these secondary markets. All the college and pro sports teams ,concert promoters and many venues are also guilty. There are plenty of stubhubs located right on the property of the game or show you are attending. Stubhub gets 33% on the listed price, they charge the seller 15 and the buyer 18 then throw in the F U fees and who knows what they are profiting.
Ticketmaster ; you or I can by tix for a particular event and 2 minutes later you can post it on ticketmaster for resale at any price you like and TM takes a percentage of that. So they make a nice profit along with fees twice on the same ticket.
Both Legalized scalping

This is exactly what I was thinking...we're now in the age of legalized scalping, where ticketmaster is paid a distribution (convenience) fee for facilitating.
The 'end of ticket scalping coming into sight' was just the light of an oncoming freight train.

Ticket Scalping is now becoming the oldest profession in the world other than prostitution. There was probably ticket scalping at the Roman Chariot Races and there is no end in sight.

Seems Ticketmaster adapts..
During the last pre-sale, as least for San Diego, one could only buy printed tickets to be picked up at the venue, or digital tickets to be downloaded from Ticketmaster.com to your cell phone.
"No PDF tickets" it said
Maybe one could resell a digital ticket to be downloaded on a mobile phone, but you certainly cannot resell it on Viagogo.

Only for high demand shows. Otherwise you are barred from selling on their platform so they can sell their tickets first.
