These tickets need to be made transferable. For many they may not get their money back, but if you can resell the ticket you ought to be allowed to do so.
What part of
non-refundable ticket do you not understand? You have a choice. Buy cheap non-refundable ticket or buy expensive refundable ticket. You choose the cheap option and yet expect all the benefits of the expensive option. Do you walk into a BMW dealership and demand a new BMW but at a Hyundai price? Because this is exactly what you're demanding here.
