Why is Ticketmaster a dynamic pricing system?

Ticketmaster’s dynamic pricing system is likely designed to help the distributor profit off the demand rather than allow a scalper to do so. Buying and reselling tickets to large events, particularly when the demand has peaked, allows the reseller to make a quick profit.
