Ticketbrokers aren’t the problem. They create a secondary market and for the most part operate on a very small margin taking great risk from fraudulent credit cards and little support from card issuing banks allowing their cardholders to try and chargeback purchases when its obvious the cardholder is being dishonest. Also if you are a season ticket holder or anyone else that must sell tickets you own then you realize that they do indeed serve a very useful purpose.

I should add that they did reply to me ” if transactions are transparent and fans are protected, the resale market can be a great way to exchange tickets. Our efforts are focused on predatory scalpers who use methods like bots to gain an unfair advantage over regular fans.” But their published rhetoric does seem different referring to ticketbrokers as scalpers, etc.

Just wanted you to be aware of them in case you didn’t know about them. I personally have signed up so I can counter them everytime they put out misleading info. Maybe we all should.
