Counterpoint: Such a market *technically* already existed outside of FIFA, just that it was a more underground/grey/black market.

Strictly speaking, an external market being brought into existing ticketing systems would be net-neutral, since the following pros & cons should balance each other out:

(additional visibility into ticket prices & demand (+)) + (increased assurance of "this is the one place to get a ticket" (+))

==

-( (increased competition for a ticket (-)) + (perverse incentives of platform to increase ticket prices (-)) )

But because of their reputation, the negatives are weighed more than the positives due to their existing track record.

As such, the following constructed scenario should be considered: If it was a fully automated platform external to any party that handled such ticketing systems, would such a severely negative view still hold?
