Maybe the problem is that Ticketbastard doesn't have any competition....

I don't see how competition would change anything unless you had multiple ticket sellers competing for seats at a specific performance. I'm not sure how that would work. Otherwise you'd be stuck with multiple ticket sellers doing the same thing as always because they each have full access to limited seats at a performance. Each show is a monopoly for them.
