Really People?

How do you get a ticket to a FREE event and then attempt to profit off of them? People are selling tickets to the Inauguration for 2k on Ebay. I don't get it. I'm not sure that the event is one that I'd be willing to pay 2k for just because I wasn't able to get them on my own. And frankly I think it's despicable. But I suppose its just the American way. Sad isn't it. If I had 4 tickets and couldn't go I'd just give them away. What's the point. But I realize that some people need to make ends meet and this is the best way to get it done. Even so I think it's excessive. I can see maybe a couple hundred dollars, after all whoever the tickets are issued to has to come and pick them up. But 2k? Really? At some point it's just pure greed. Darn shame really. 

Ok well I have way more to say about this and it isn't really constructive at all. So I'm just going to go make my BBQ sauce for dinner and try not to think about sucky people.
