What happens to the tickets???

This scalper (here) bought 60 NLCS tickets for $3k, hoping to in turn sell them for $14k and got caught. My initial reaction? What happens to the tickets? Then it was 'what a creep!'
But upon further review how is this any different from a company doing an IPO only to watch it's shares get bid up up and away in the open market?
Seems to me like this guy is creating a market, which is a good thing, and as long as the tickets were legit and people were willing to shell out the money it seems fine by me.
According to this survey though, 75% of you disagree with me while 25% of you are probably scalpers.
Again though, What happens to the tickets??? It would be a shame if they just sat idly in an evidence locker.

That's easy: Just look for a group of cops all sitting together in the stands.
