That's exactly the point.

The tickets were given out for almost free. Why should anyone a) pay for, and b) profit from that ?

It's f**king obscene, and anyone who contemplates selling them for profit is scum of the highest order. And anyone who wants to pay those prices (bearing in mind it'll be on TV anyway) is plain bloody retarded.
