    Am I being cynical if I wonder if Ticketmaster just cancelled a number of tickets randomly, just so they can resell those at its new “market price.” Normally I would just assume incompetence or a mistake, but this is Ticketmaster.

      If there’s a financial incentive for them to do it, then that’s why they did it. Follow the money. There are no ramifications for Ticketmaster to do this sort of abhorrent behavior. They just don’t care.

      This is almost certainly the case. I also know Airbnb hosts do that all the time.
