Maybe, but I wouldn't be so sure. Besides, at that point, if you're going to pay those kinds of rates, might as well get some value covered. Let's say that the "fair" rate of the GH San Francisco is $200, and the one at the St. Regis is $400. If the GH is $1,200 and the St. Regis is $1,400, which of the two is more guilty of price gouging? The 6x price scalper, or the 3x scalper?
