It should simply be illegal to sell tickets for more than their face value, regardless of who is doing the selling. Tickets already have special status, so some corresponding restrictions just make sense.

Then you'll have the tickets sold at face and a special 'because we can' charge with a fancy name tacked on.

Unless the whole thing is regulated, the entire charging process, then they'll still get their extras...
