Just addressing the how: the first sale doctrine applies to copies of copyrighted works, not to tickets.

OK, but the "first sale" doctrine really just says that copyrighted works are like any other item that is bought and sold?

So I haven't read their fine print lately---is Ticketmaster is not selling you a ticket, but a non-transferrable license to attend the event?
