I don't understand how it's illegal to sell tix at any or X amount above face value (ie. scalping), yet these brokers buy blocks of tix and resell them at double the original cost.

The service fees should be illegal. It is illegal for a season ticket holder to charge more than a certain percentage over the face value in most areas. The ticket agensies should have the same laws but they don't.
Doesn't the NFL have a deal with one of the online ticket agencies to legally scalp?
