why does the entertainment industry get so upset about ticket touting?

Question

I have reports of the music industry trying to stop touts from selling live event tickets that they purchased from them but why should they care.They still making money from the original sale so they shold let them do what they want with their tickets.

Answer 1

That would be like buying $100 of groceries from Safeway and then setting up a stand outside selling the same groceries.

You don't see the logic?

Maybe you're upset with the price of entertainment and wish there wasn't a middle man, like I wish.
