Every battle plan looks elegant in the map room and messy in the mud, and ticket policy is no different. On paper, a cap on resale prices reassures the public that government stands with them against profiteers picking their pockets outside the stadium. In practice, you must think about supply lines, in this case the official exchanges, refund policies and enforcement agencies that will have to carry the weight of that promise. Push touts off regulated platforms and they may regroup on channels where your cavalry cannot easily follow. Ignore the problem and you invite cynicism, the belief that politics is merely a spectator sport staged for donors and insiders. The wise course lies in combining a measured cap, rigorous action on bots and spec sellers, and a frank admission that no system will deliver perfect fairness, only a fairer fight.
