The reason it stops "real" fans getting tickets is purely because these touts buy lots of them up, meaning that fans can't get them in the legitimate sale, and then they can't afford to pay tout prices. I wouldn't pay extra for a ticket if it meant a tout getting a big cut of it. If I couldn't get tickets from a proper ticket seller I'd rather be upset at missing the show than out of pocket from buying from a tout.
